AI-pilled tech bros on X are a living example of the false consensus effect. Case study from my neighbor's backyard. He had four friends over to brew beer: high school teacher, lawyer, physical therapist, CPA. All mid-30s, all college educated. AI came up. They'd used ChatGPT to write emails. That was as far as it went. They thought Claude was made by Google. When I asked if they used AI to shop, they were confused by the question. "Like Google Shopping?"

i don't think tech people understand how little non-tech people care about tech the average person does not have a basic understanding of how a computer works the idea of everyone just prompting their own software is only for a small subset of people

People have contempt for the software industry because it's failing at its job. There hasn't been any new software made in the last 3-4 years that I want to use. Most existing software is getting worse Why would people like or respect the software industry?

I spend a lot of time around people who have never worked in software. Reading Twitter, you'd never know how much those people currently hate software, "tech", and especially AI. Maybe the Twitter bubble doesn't care. But if we're not building for them, who are we building for?

If the Constitution brings us to the point that foreign adversaries can ship pregnant women into our country by the thousands or millions to have US citizen children, then the whole thing just isn’t fit for purpose anymore.

Machinist buddy of mine, young guy with 5 years experience was telling me he hopes to get a promotion up to 55k next year. I have 18 year olds hanging gutters for me pulling in 52k. We expect skilled labor to work for 1998 wages.

Shipyards desperately need welders, pipefitters, and other skilled workers. But this work is grueling and dangerous. cbsn.ws/4bIyP6O
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Workers exist but choose higher-paying jobs. Shipyard welders earn ~$54k—barely above fast food wages—while those skills earn $65k+ elsewhere. High churn proves the issue is pay, not a lack of skilled labor. They simply aren't choosing grueling work for low pay. mckinsey.com/industries/aer… news.usni.org/2025/03/11/pay… arccaptain.com/blogs/news/hig…
