🚨 U.S. Government Shutdown: 620,000 federal workers furloughed. 1 million working without pay.

Meanwhile, private companies just committed $6.7 TRILLION to build A.I. infrastructure.

What the $&*! is going on?

In this week's episode, we make sense out of some crazy stuff.

I just launched a podcast about optimistic futures!

Do I want to do an episode on violence??

No, of course not! I'd much rather talk about unicorns and rainbows (seriously; my kids tell me they fart candy!) 🌈🦄

But it's been a violent week, so, here you go...

We must end the scourge of gun violence in America.

We also need to have honest conversations about the ways internet platforms profit from fear, hatred, and division.

Both are vital to the future of this country.

AI Companies Just BOUGHT Your Future for $1.5B (While You Celebrated)

Think this $1.5B payout to authors from Anthropic/Claude is a big deal?

It is... and it's not.

And it might actually be the thing we DON'T need...

The future we want doesn't swing on the whims of any one "leader" — in complex systems, the best decisions are made by people closer to the impact center.

Swinging blindly from the "top" of a hierarchy is rarely an informed choice.

Today I wrote about prevention, and why it's so damn hard to do.

We are such social creatures, it's HARD to go against the flow of things.

Here's how we do something new: we must adopt a new perspective around "courage."

It is good to care about legality.

But we must also care about right-ness (as in, doing what’s right).

Because when people in power don’t care about doing what’s right, they can use “legality” as a weapon to damage us all.

Lots of pundit-types out there telling us we need to lean into our humanity as A.I. infiltrates work.

This is true, but it just became clear to me WHY this is so important.

Any why it's so urgent.

What do you think A.I. is FOR?

I've been obsessed with this phrase "releasing people from drudgery" lately.

It pretty much sums up exactly what A.I. needs to do... but did you know it comes from a Disney song...!?
