Why Everyone Is Wrong About AI (Including You) | Benedict Evans
Benedict Evans has been calling tech shifts for decades. Now he says forget the hype: AI isn't the new electricity. It's the biggest change since the iPhone, and that's plenty big enough.
We talk about why everyone gets platform shifts wrong, where Google's actually vulnerable, and what real people do with AI when nobody's watching.
Evans sees patterns others don't. This conversation will change how you think about what's actually happening versus what everyone says is happening.
