Yes, leadership without conscience has permeated the business world and the political world, but it’s not too late to check this leviathan. The backlash against AI is real, best articulated in the revulsion against data centers. Let’s look to the example of how the robber barons were reined in at the turn of the last century. It’s taking longer than we’d like to, but lack of conscience is the flaw that brings down all illegitimate rulers, for they lose judgment in their pursuit of wealth and dominance. Regardless of the technologies, conscience always prevails.
Indeed. I still conjure apocalyptic visions, if for no other fantasy than the tech bros just needing a few slaves to do the crops and day care for their off spring and warfare being totally computerized. There are a thousand ways for them to computerize the rest of us out of existence. I see them as every bit as evil as trump as they keep him in power!
“In God We Trust” the most dangerous words ever put on a piece of paper. There really is nothing new or brave in this world. I keep waking up in a never ending scene from “A Canticle For Leibowitz”.
Often interesting to read different points of view, from different perspectives. More so, if you share some heritage with the author. The lenses through which we view life, and the actions of others can be remarkably different, and it is crafted by the unique personal experiences we carry. The last paragraph of this commentary provides readers with some clue of that perspective. Stay well and keep up the interesting commentary.

“Social media… gave tribalism a megaphone and a business model.” Right on. You make some excellent points.
(But speaking of AI, I prefer your own, natural voice rather than filtered through Claude.)
