Jason Padgett and Julie Koehrer dig into why the gap between foundation-model leaders and the public is widening, and why Jason argues the fix isn't UBI, it's equity. Key topics covered:- The April 6 shooting of Indiana Councilman Ron Gibson's house (13 rounds, "No Data Centers" note) and the Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman's home on April 10- Why Sam Altman's "philosopher kings" narrative and Dario Amodei's 50% white-collar job loss warnings are making the backlash worse- How Demis Hassabis and AlphaFold prove drug discovery was the smarter first move for AI- Maine's data center moratorium vs. New Hampshire's "compute free or die" constitutional proposal- Why Trump's $1,000 newborn S&P 500 account is a model for AI profit-sharing- The buy-in vs. UBI argument: Americans want equity in the systems they help train- The Enhanced Games in Vegas on Memorial Day, Pascal's Wager applied to longevity, and whether you'd upload your consciousness- Brain-computer interfaces, space colonization, and the solar punk movementBottom line: AI's PR problem isn't about the technology. It's about who owns the upside.
