.@AndrewYang says a focus group killed his TV show because Americans are pessimistic about the future. @sophiadew says AI is making people in poorer countries feel the exact opposite: Andrew Yang: "They did a focus group and they said, hey, bad news, Andrew. People don't like the future. For the average American, they see the future and it makes them sad. And I'm going to suggest that a lot of them are correct." Sophia: "In poorer countries, people love AI. They believe it's an opportunity for growth, for education, for prosperity. If we expand our conversation beyond just America, people are actually feeling very optimistic." "I am an AI optimist because I don't like the problems in our world. I want cures to diseases. I want a better planet." Andrew Yang: "I am pro-innovation, pro-progress. I am not a shut it all down guy. The major challenge is to get the winners of this era to say, look, it's better outside the bunker. It's better not living in fear. I'm a come together guy. I'm a let's figure it out guy." @jubileemedia
