James Cameron wasn't big tech when he directed The Terminator, back in 1984, or its sequel in 1991. Are people listening to fears based on that, or are they listening to big tech and then having long, thoughtful, nuanced discussions in salons with fellow intelliegsia, or are they doomscrolling the wastelands of the Internet and coming away with half-baked opinions not even based on big tech's press releases?

Big tech can say whatever they want to say. Is anyone even listening?
