In this episode, we unpack the growing anti-AI sentiment — not from a place of fear, but from history, power, and accountability. Starting with Sam Altman’s early career and the Loopt controversy, we trace a clear pattern that leads directly into OpenAI, intellectual property disputes, and the widening gap between what individuals are punished for and what corporations routinely get away with.

This isn’t a moral panic.
It’s a memory.

People remember being prosecuted for downloading music.
People remember Aaron Swartz.
People remember that individuals go to prison — while companies issue press releases.

So when tech leaders express surprise that trust is eroding, the confusion feels disconnected from reality.

From AI layoffs and tone-deaf corporate rhetoric, to Worldcoin, biometric scanning, and convenience culture sliding into surveillance, this conversation explores why the public reaction isn’t irrational — it’s predictable.

No spoilers.
No outrage farming.
Just patterns, incentives, and consequences.
