A unpopular opinion I often hear is "I actually like [insert usually dislike stuff]" and vice versa. I think this kind of take is way more common than most people believe for the sole fact that people in general have various taste.

This will be controversial I think but I wanna say it.

I think "AI is the industrial revolution" is one of these opinions that makes AI easier to grasp and thus it's more popular than most people think.

I believe that too btw because it benefits and destroys us at the same scale. Of course when you get into the details it's a very different technology shift but I think generally a lot of people subscribe to that.

    AI is the industrial revolution.

    It's not though. AI will have definite impacts, but the wild overvaluation it currently has is based on fantasy.

    So are most religions, but here we are.

    Millions of people are dead and lands are carved up because of some imaginary sky friends.
