If the fact that these CEOs responsible for propagating disruptive technologies - CEOs exposed to the effects every day, have unprecedented insights (internal analytics) and the best staff around them to assess the tech's potential positive and negative consequences - DO NOT want to their own to partake in it even though advertising it to anyone else, then - if that tells you nothing - you are just plain ignorant or vested in their companies.

a non-trivial number of HN is, in fact, literally (in)vested in their companies.

lotta folks here with FAANG pedigrees...

Except that the supposed views held by these CEOs (iPads, social media, AI, etc. can be bad for kids) are also widely held mainstream views. That's the only reason people are bringing the views up here...because they already agree with them!

There's absolutely nothing insightful about CEOs with "unprecedented insights" coming to the same conclusions as everyone else.
