Hello all, and happy Thursday!
Famously, Mark Zuckerberg coined the phrase “Move fast and break things” as an internal motto for Facebook. It’s been the operating philosophy for many tech businesses and certainly most start-ups. But it’s the exact opposite of what Americans want when it comes to AI.
One of our stories this week focuses on the results of the 2025 Axios/Harris Poll 100. Specifically, this stat jumped out at me: “More than three-quarters of Americans (77%) want companies to create AI slowly and get it right the first time, even if that delays breakthroughs.”
You can’t blame people for being tired of dealing with the consequences of Big Tech’s obsession with breaking things.
Maybe there’s a happy medium between “Move fast and break things,” and “Go slow and get it right?”
Best,
Arlo
