55% of American adults take zero flights a year — a stat that stuns AI insiders
SuB8u · x · 2026-10-05
Hadick notes that when people hear 55% of American adults take zero flights a year, they recheck the data multiple times before accepting it. SuB8u turns this into a jab at frontier AI engineers: most people don't have overflowing inboxes and calendars, multiple flights a year, dinners out three times a week, or the task of coordinating dinners for ten people with 18 meal requirements. A reminder that product assumptions built on elite lifestyles miss most users.
