If you have any interest in #AI and/or the future of democracy, you need to read this latest article by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social. I spent 20 years working in tech and survived several of its hype-cycles. This one is on steroids and, if allowed to continue, has dark consequences for us all.
NEW: Last week Trump announced 'Stargate' a $500bn AI sci-fi inspired plan to boost US economy. This week, I turn the spotlight on the man who stood behind Trump, lesser-known tech bro, Larry Ellison, his special friend Tony Blair & how they're coming for the UK too
