Charts drawn by hand about AI, posted on X and LinkedIn. A new one most weeks.

AI slow down consensus

A step chart of the share of people who agree AI must slow down, jumping at each new quote from Dario, Elon, Sam and finally the White House saying go ahead. A flat grey line at zero underneath is labelled the percentage of things that actually slowed down.

Saturday everyone agreed AI must slow down. Sunday the White House said go ahead. The bottom line never moved.

The singularity (according to this week's news)

Two lines on an intelligence axis running to 2030. A blue AI line climbs to superintelligence while a black human line drifts down past PISA scores. The two cross in a circle labelled the singularity, we met it halfway.

Two lines meet halfway. The footnote is the real chart.

Likeliness the world will end

A spiky line tracking the percent chance AI ends the world across one day. It hits the top every time the phone opens X and drops back to zero during client calls and actual work.

Same day, same AI. It depends which app I have open.

Every time... the jobs apocalypse

A rising jobs line annotated with five centuries of predictions that work would disappear, from the printing press and the stocking frame to office PCs, machine learning, self driving trucks and LLMs. A footer lists the jobs that really did disappear next to total US jobs going from 32 million to 159 million.

Five hundred years of the same headline, one line that keeps climbing. The footer lists the jobs that really did die.

Why AI has such bad press

Public goodwill towards AI falling in steps, each drop pinned to a frontier lab CEO line about jobs disappearing, owning your content, ending the world and city sized data centres. At the bottom the CEOs ask why everyone is so negative about them.

Goodwill falls one CEO quote at a time.
