I'm not really worried about AI. I'm worried about the people who have access to it. The power it holds is so enormous that in the hands of incompetents it would be catastrophic. And unfortunately, this year has taught us that there are many people in power who are not right in the head, who are not up to the task of their positions. For my part, I want this to be the last year of Chavismo. I want to remember 2025 as the year Venezuela became free again and began its resurgence. I'm very optimistic about that. For now, I say, like Mary Oliver, “Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers.” I want to be one of those who are still surprised and don't see the latent darkness. A hug, Eric
I'm optimistic too. I think the quality of our future will rely on how we choose to use and integrate ourselves with AI. I think it's very important to be prepared and think about these things now before we're presented with choices such as Do I get the chip in my brain so I can stay competitive? or Do I outsource this or that to AI? So few are keeping up-to-date with these technological developments that I fear a lot of people will be blindsided when the time comes and make bad choices as they have with their mobile phone usage. I have no doubt the future will be bright for those who make the proper choices and allow AI to work for them instead of being enslaved by it. Thanks and I hope it's been a great week for you Nancy!
