Brilliantly written around a content which probably couldn‘t be closer to the truth.
I always enjoy your different types of nurturing and inspiring newsletters.
And I appreciate very much your display of links to your sources.
The one today came right in time since I had listened to a podcast this morning called „Tech Bro Topia“. (DLF Deutschlandfunk).
It introduced me to the ideologies and plans of people like Ayn Rand, Dryden Brown, Nick Land, Balaji Srinivasan and more, heavily supported and/or financed by the more commonly known unempatic figures Thiel, Musk & Altman.
Scott, your tome isn't merely eye-opening; it's an alarm sounded, one to which we must pay heed. I'm sharing this with my son, a high school principal, here, and on Facebook, and everywhere. As a grandfather of 7 and 10-year-old granddaughters, this really ticks me off.
This column struck home. Consider I met you at work, on a job that required me to engage thy neighbor in product marketing, I’m very uncomfortable with the direction AI is taking things. Grok is a mechanical madman. Jobs will be lost, hate and disinformation amplified.
If Meta is the high priest of AI, then the sermons read like a bad parody: “Love thy neighbor — unless engagement metrics say otherwise.” The joke writes itself, but the punchline is on us if we let profit pass for progress.
📌 The danger isn’t worshipping AI; it’s forgetting we built the altar ourselves.

Frightening.
Please keep on writing.

And yet even in Grok's deluded environment, it is still able to point out the ravings of an actual madman -- its owner.
