yep, we're going to get blindsided and tbh it might be better that way for society, no time for people to let their imaginations run wild and work themselves up into a paranoid frenzy, it's just 'oh it's already here and it's working for us and everything's getting much more affordable now and I can retire with my free robot butler.'

Don't you think noticing things that are life-changing is important?
