Most people at least in the US who have any opinion on AI have a negative opinion. The one big exception to that is Silicon Valley and forums like HN.

But according to you, the negative opinion is the result "not thousands of individual perspectives but a chorus of connected/aligned people who have all read the same things and talked to the same people and are rewarded implicitly for thinking a similar way" whereas the 1% or 2% of the US population that comprises Silicon Valley are not being rewarding for believing anything particular about AI, don't communicate with each other and form their beliefs about AI through a wholesome natural organic process. Do I have that right?
