The people vs tech, the Europoor, and forgotten Creole — Exponential View #609

Exponential View's Sunday edition #609 argues tech was effectively on the ballot this week, citing Texas Governor-Elect Gina Hinojosa's claim that "99.9% of us" are pitted against "15 billionaire tech guys who are controlling government." It also questions whether AI's productivity payoff has arrived, noting US productivity grew 3.6% last quarter but calling the data too noisy to attribute to AI, and argues Europe is financing the tech race it is losing.
