Bernie Sanders is making sense. Suspicious. Is this AI generated?

100% will go silent if the culture makes truth unsafe.

Historically, technology becomes cheaper and more accessible over time. While the underlying models are built by tech giants, the application layer is heavily decentralized. The base layer may be exclusive, but the innovation built on top of it is open to everyone.

It's one of the few times I've seen a major institution name governance as a process rather than a deliverable, which is the part most policy frameworks quietly skip. I'm not planning to read all 144 pages, but it's affirming to see the idea land somewhere with this much reach.

Exactly. The real question isn’t what AI can do, but who controls it and how the value it creates is distributed. Those defaults are being set now, and once they scale, they’re much harder to change than to question.

I had a scary dream a few nights ago, it might have been a warning dream of the future to come. My mother passed away last year, and she was into her tech. The whole AI thing came after she left, so I never got her opinion of it. In my dream I got a Google popup add with an older female actor, that looked strikingly like my mother when she was younger. In the dream, I investigated the product further and found more and more angles of this actor resembling my mother. Then there was a realisation, a flash of understanding that Google had used the images of my mother to produce an advert to target the ad to me. And that Google could use the images of any deceased person to produce targeted content for those of us still alive. Imagine a parent who lost a child, seeing an advert for a product that resembles their lost loved one? Maybe it's not an exact replication, just enough to get you to notice. AI has the power to pull on our hearts in ways our brains will never warn us about. That's the power these guys are referring to.

I’m not sure Bernie understands the concept of voluntary exchange and consumer surplus. Business leaders innovate to add value. Nobody forces someone to make a purchase. And people would be willing to - in many cases - pay much more than what the market charges based on the value the good or service provides to the buyer. What was the incentive for people to make his glasses? Did they really want Bernie to see better? Or were they just after his money? Bernie chose to buy them because he saw the value they provided. Enabling him to see. Unfortunately, they didn’t allow him to see clearly how the market adds value and voluntary exchange rewards those who produce the most value. Full stop.

Research shows EQ dropping while AI implementation and quality is going up. EQ has always been the king & queen, but even more in the future. Knowing yourself well --> and accepting yourself.

Being happy for others when they do well. That one is the real test of emotional intelligence. It sounds simple and it's genuinely hard. The leaders who get this right build teams where everyone rises. Such a complete and honest breakdown of what EQ actually looks like in practice.

Thank you for sharing your take from the first pass. Humility isn't as rewarded by the algorithm as confident hot-takes. It is refreshing.

Love the list of what emotional intelligence is NOT, especially this one: thinking you are always right. Yes!

Quite obviously we need to get this under control. The accumulated wealth and power are already going to just a handful of people. And that may not be the biggest problem. Planetary-scale threats require planetary-scale solutions. Einstein made this clear regarding the threat of nuclear war. Hawking issued the same warning targeting exactly this issue: March 8, 2017 The Independent headline “Without a ‘world government’ technology will destroy us,” says Stephen Hawking We need effective planetary-scale governance to address this imminent threat. The good news is, if we do this right, we can also address the climate crisis, nuclear weapons, etc. essentially any global threat that cannot be addressed by individual nation-states.

Roger That!!

Really thoughtful framing I don’t think AI can be “disarmed” in the sense that competition, power and commercial incentives will simply disappear. But it can be slowed down, redirected and governed better — especially in education, where the stakes are not only productivity, but the formation of people. For me the key question is: who gets to define what “better learning” means? If it is only vendors optimizing for engagement, retention or scale, we will get one kind of education. If teachers, researchers, parents and students are genuinely involved, we may get something much more human. So maybe “disarming AI” is not about stopping the technology. It is about refusing to let speed, profit and geopolitical pressure become the only design principles.

Turns out replacing salaries with token bills isn’t the cost hack everyone thought. AI is a multiplier, not a replacement. Use it to make engineers 3x faster, not to fire them and hope the API covers the gap.

Luís Rodrigues - This is both funny and useful for layperson explanations.

The interesting part is that this moves AI from being a support layer into becoming part of the operational fabric of the state itself. At that point, competitive advantage is no longer just about deploying AI tools faster, but about how effectively institutions can govern, coordinate, and continuously adapt around autonomous execution at scale.

This hits hard because EQ is where leadership actually happens. The leaders who build psychologically safe teams where people speak up, disagree respectfully, and feel heard, aren't the ones with the highest IQ.

The clarity here matters: EQ isn't about being nice or avoiding hard conversations. It's about self-awareness, empathy, and handling conflict in ways that strengthen relationships instead of damaging them.

"Who decides what gets built. And who benefits when it works." AI is not suddenly introducing this question. This has always been the question to answer. AI I simply revealing and amplifying the importance of it.
