The mood has turned. A Yale-educated VC takes the stand and admits she had four secret children with one of the most powerful men in AI. ChatGPT loses a third of its market in months. Molotov cocktails get thrown at Sam Altman's gate. And 140 million workers form an alliance to fight back.
This week on The AI Transition, Stephen and Lauren walk through the building AI backlash — from courtroom revelations and mass layoffs to street protests and outright sabotage. With a detour into who the Luddites really were (spoiler: not what your history teacher told you) and why this whole moment rhymes with 1812.
If this lands, share it with someone wrestling with the same questions. And remember — you still matter. At least for now.
