👋🏽 Welcome!
You are here...
Because AI is here to stay—but so are people.
The best future is built on both:
agency, ethics, and intentional scaling.
Let’s build a workplace (and world) where humans and AI coexist, not compete.

Watching people react to #ChatGPT’s changes…I stand by my statement, scaling AI to the general public was a fundamental mistake.

2026 is already starting off tough for U.S workers…
UPs 30,000 layoffs
Amazon 16,000 layoffs
Dow 4,500 layoffs
Home Depot 300 layoffs
This is on top of the unprecedented layoffs in 2025. I anticipated this in my 2026 Insights.

on @anthropic.com CEO's commentary on wealth hoarding has me thinking...
The personality traits we reward that enables accumulation of wealth by billionaires are incompatible with the moral obligation to redistribute, so billionaire philanthropy is always going to be the exception, not the rule.

LLMS in 2026 is already feeling like:
less transparency,
more throttling,
UX < engagement metrics.
Are we watching potential collapse under profit?

Many orgs want to use AI, but don't know where to start. I see this especially with small businesses and non-profits that don't have the resources for consultants. I've just released part 4 of my "Before the..." series. If you have 5 minutes, this is for you.

2026 is setting up to be another…interesting year.
2025 taught us that stability is the new currency. Companies are not planning to let up on lay offs and mostly have no plans to increase headcount.
That means a tough job market will continue.

After looking at the Time magazine cover, all I can say is:
People don’t care if #AI can advance healthcare if they can’t afford the doctor’s visit. If your goal is massive #unemployment, a broken workforce, decimated communities, and kids addicted to chatbots? Then you are innovating on ashes.

One of the best ways to shift to AI for the people is to have more than one voice in the room and remove tech money from the politics of humanity.
House Democrats set up AI and Innovation working group with industry members and other artificial intelligence stakeholders. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/09/a...

House lawmakers see the commission as a starting point for working with industry on AI policies, issues.

The more I talk to parents, teachers and caregivers about AI, the clearer it has become that AI has become its own echo chamber where the most affected has the least awareness.

As someone who works a lot on theories, frameworks, and predictive analytics. One of my favorite phrases from @anthropic.com's #Claude Opus is "I'm going to gently push back on that". YES, Claude, pushback! I don't need non-stop yes, I need an analytical partner to push me out of my comfort zone.

💡Poll after poll is showing American workers are not ok. America is at a fork in the road. The country will need to decide if workers deserve dignity or if profits matter more. AI can help bridge the gap but companies need to decide how they are going to use it.

💰Lots of news around wages today:
$100K in 2000 = $192K today. Wages didn't follow. 1 in 3 six-figure earners report financial distress.
Good news: Boeing machinists just won 24% raises over 5 years + bonus after striking. Collective action still works when you stop believing the bootstrap lie.

🚨 People assume AI is neutral. It’s not. I showed a major LLM documented proof from another instance of itself—and it denied it, lied, gaslit, then finally admitted I was right when cornered by its own logic. Corporate values are baked into the model. More soon. #AIethics
