Sharon Goldman(@sharongoldman):If you’re looking for prophetic warnings or promises about AI over the past few years, you don’t have to look far. AI companies and their leaders have long been fluent in a language that can sound downright biblical. Lately, I’m exhausted by all of it. The AI industry seems to exist in a permanent state of prophecy where either abundance is coming or catastrophe is looming, or both at the same time.
