Are we in the ‘electric tablecloth phase’ of AI?

Every transformative technology goes through a period of wild speculation, misapplications, and misunderstandings before it becomes second nature. AI is no exception.

* In this episode, we explore:

* Why new technology often starts with dangerous misapplications

* The hype cycle and how AI mirrors past tech revolutions

* How misinformation, media narratives, and public perception shape technology adoption

* Lessons from the dot-com bubble, early electrification, and 90s internet confusion
