AI burnout is rising. Productivity gains are stalling. An AI treadmill. Once you step on, getting off feels impossible. This is the AI productivity paradox: workers using AI are moving faster, but are more overwhelmed, more replaceable, less in control youtu.be/tEE4NkHEctY?si…

As I always say…one of the biggest things we can do for ourselves is achieve mental sovereignty. We cannot use AI as a crutch to handicap us from actually thinking. Thinking for ourselves. Thinking critically. We must continually question everything. And stay curious.

There is no plan because there is no long-term thinking. We also hear so much about people becoming freelancers or entrepreneurs…but what about benefits? What about social safety nets? Most people can barely afford health insurance. This is beyond “AI is coming for my job”

@JaredWeinerNYC We are partners but we are also parents - trying to navigate the future and make sense of it all. Check out our new @YouTube channel: @wakethefuture?si=HbrUle_oVoYODZdE" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@wakethefuture… and join the conversation.

That is why I created #WaketheFuture with @JaredWeinerNYC to cut through all the BS, all the noise, all the confusion and talk about life’s #WTF moments with a big dose of something that is missing in so many conversations today: Common sense.

“#Wtf is happening?!” seems to be the question du jour. Because sh*t is super disorienting right now. Then we #doomscroll. Feel worse. Questions about our kids’ future have us awake at 3am. We worry about our jobs - and if AI will come for them. The world is wonky AF.

The End of Reality: AI and the Fight for Democracy. Watch the full interview on my YouTube channel: youtu.be/qN7yeiv6yXY Futurist thinker Erica Orange @ErOrange says skepticism is a crucial tool in the modern era, but she says we’re ill-equipped to deal with the ramifications of this world-altering technology. What happens when, not if, AI is used to interfere in elections? What if it’s used to fake the death of a world leader? How do we, as a society, deal with verifiability in a world where reality can be completely fabricated?

What are some potential #blackswan events for #2026? In a recent article for @politico, I wrote about the collapse of shared reality. Will hyper-realistic #deepfakes make it so that the public begins to mistrust reality itself? politico.com/news/magazine/…

@AndrewYang Enjoyed your contribution. You and I were definitely thinking along the same lines! Mine was about #deepfakes and the collapse of a shared reality #AI #future

What troubles could arise in ‘26? I answered AI-fueled political violence and a fog of unreality. politico.com/news/magazine/…

🔶 "Leaders must also be able to articulate not just what AI will do, but why it matters for the organization’s future. And this includes being able to equally articulate what AI cannot do." - @ErOrange Read Issue #2 of The Algorithm: bit.ly/4qmlWF3 #TheAlgorithm #AI

The latest edition of The Algorithm is LIVE! 📰 This issue explores how AI is evolving from concept to competitive advantage, including insights from @erorange, @ekassner and more. Keep reading! ➡️ brnw.ch/21wYdCO
