Three distinct camps are forming around AI: power users, doubters and resisters.

Why it matters: AI isn't just advancing — it's fragmenting how people see the world.

The big picture: The disconnect is showing up everywhere — from job-loss fears to data center protests to actual violence.

• Doubters still see AI as glitchy chatbots and viral fails. They aren't using its full capabilities.
• Power users run AI agents around the clock, trading tips on how to automate work and decision-making.
• Resisters understand AI, think they know where it's headed and want no part of it.

What they're saying: "There is a growing gap in understanding of AI capability," former OpenAI and Tesla AI leader Andrej Karpathy posted on X. He added that many people let a single session with ChatGPT's free tier define their view of AI.

• Meanwhile, Karpathy told the "No Priors" podcast that he now spends 16 hours a day issuing commands to AI agent swarms and rushes to exhaust his tokens every month.
• "AI adoption is a tale of two cities," Box CEO Aaron Levie said on X.

By the numbers: It's a virtuous cycle. Power users have more success and more productivity boosts than casual users.

• Anthropic's March economic impact report found that experienced users attempt harder tasks and succeed more often.
• The result is a new kind of economic gap between advanced users and everyone else.

Between the lines: The third group of resisters are getting louder.

• In Indianapolis, a legislator said his home was hit by gunfire, with a note left behind saying "no more data centers."
• And on Friday, a man was arrested for allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's home and had also visited OpenAI's offices before being taken into custody.
• The San Francisco Chronicle reports that someone with the same name as the suspect has published anti-AI essays and participated in a PauseAI Discord server. PauseAI is an activist group that advocates halting AI development.

State of play: Protests are becoming more common in San Francisco, where many AI firms are based, and in communities targeted for new data centers.

• A growing number of workers with technical skills fear AI will make them obsolete.
• In a viral post, a Meta engineer captured a spreading anxiety. "I'm done with tech and I'm done with this unfair world," the engineer wrote.

In a post after the attack, Altman said: "It will not all go well. The fear and anxiety about AI is justified; we are in the process of witnessing the largest change to society in a long time, and perhaps ever."

The bottom line: The people building and using AI at full power are living in a very different world from everyone else.

Half of Americans now use artificial intelligence at work, a new benchmark in Gallup's surveys, but there's a gap between company leaders and workers.

The big picture: While executives can be divided on aggressively pushing AI in the office versus letting workers experiment on an individual level, the latest poll shows that bosses are the ones using it most frequently.

By the numbers: The February survey of 23,717 U.S. employees found that regular AI usage is also increasing, with 13% of workers saying they use the tech daily, compared with 12% last quarter and 10% before that.

• But where workers fall on the food chain makes a difference: In organizations that make AI tools available, 67% of leaders said they used AI daily or a few times a week, compared with 52% of managers, 50% of project managers and 46% of individual contributors.
• The report says that differences by role "reflect how many mainstream AI tools align with the tasks employees perform," with leaders and managers taking on "desk-based" responsibilities for which such tools can be "readily applied."

What we're watching: Workers' concerns about their jobs being displaced have grown with AI adoption and organizational shifts, Gallup's report notes.

• Across U.S. employees, 18% say it is very or somewhat likely their job would be replaced within the next five years due to new tech and automation.
• Among those who work in organizations that have adopted AI, that share jumps to 23%.

OpenAI has found evidence that one of its internal tools downloaded a compromised update from a recently infected, legitimate open-source software library.

Why it matters: The incident could have allowed hackers to exfiltrate a certificate that could make phony OpenAI apps look legitimate — although OpenAI says it hasn't seen this happen.

• Google has also linked the broader hacking campaign to a North Korean hacker group.

Zoom in: OpenAI said in a blog post Friday night that a GitHub workflow that the company uses to sign certificates for MacOS applications downloaded a malicious update from the Axios software on March 31. Axios, a widely used JavaScript library for making HTTP requests, is not affiliated with Axios Media.

• On the same day, hackers who hijacked a developer's account published two infected updates to the Axios library before anyone noticed.
• MacOS application users — including those for ChatGPT, Atlas and Codex — could have been affected, the company said.

Threat level: Having access to that system could have allowed hackers to create their own phony OpenAI applications that have the back-end, legitimate certificate needed to trick devices and the App Store into thinking they're real.

Yes, but: OpenAI says there's no evidence that any user data, intellectual property or internal systems were compromised.

State of play: AI companies are now prime targets for classic software supply chain attacks — not just novel AI-specific threats.

What's next: OpenAI will stop supporting older versions of its MacOS apps on May 8, out of an abundance of caution.

• The company says users have a 30-day window to update before the revoked certificate could block new downloads and first-time launches.

Ina here. Last night I started "Company Retreat" — the new Amazon Prime show from the creators of "Jury Duty."
