Nauti's Take

The expectation gap is an important data point — tech elites and the broader public read AI completely differently, and that shapes policy and acceptance. Opportunity: exactly here is where business models can carry AI's gains into mid-market and education, not just concentrate them at the top.

Risk: if "underclass" rhetoric becomes the SF default mood, talent pipelines and regulation flip faster than the players want.
