On a road trip to Savannah, we stopped just north of Columbia at a roadside diner.
I spotted “raw fries” on the menu and am intrigued. Surely they’re not going to bring raw potatoes over???
I order it and the waitress asks “floppy or crispy?” I request crispy.
This is what hit the table.

How the classic anime 'Ghost in the Shell' predicted the future of cybersecurity 30 years ago | TechCrunch
The story of Ghost in the Shell’s main villain the Puppet Master hinted at a future where governments use hackers for espionage, at a time when most of the world had never connected to the internet.

Doesn’t look like he’s ever ventured outside entertainment before, I don’t see any obvious connection or rationale (though I haven’t dug very deep)

Yes! Most people's experience with AI is not "a very tedious, data-heavy, repetitive process that if automated could vastly improve the quality of my work and job."
It's "mom sending me fake videos of riots in her neighborhood, she's scared to go outside" or "trump shits on protestors."

Even if you think, like I do, that AI has a lot of cool potential uses, that’s a very understandable reason why a lot of people get angry whenever it’s brought up right now.
