Why AI Can’t Amplify Your Thinking. A Philosopher’s Take Before you get too carried away by the idea that AI can amplify your thinking, you might want to ask why, when, and how you think in the first place.

“At TEDAI Vienna 2025, Microsoft’s Advait Sarkar ended his TED Talk by asking what you would rather have: a tool that thinks for you, or a tool that makes you think?”

How will AI change the org chart? At the micro level, there is evidence that it pays to collapse the layers of command

“Putting America’s 21mn managers on the group’s median salary gives an aggregate $2.6tn pay cheque. Block, which admittedly has been through various iterations, squeezes far more revenue out of each employee than it did 10 years ago.”

"If you cannot say ‘enough’ to this, you deserve the disgrace that is surely coming. Your weakness has brought a profound shame upon our republic, one recognized by free people across the globe.

I have experienced The Death of "Neutrality" in 2026. In the early 2020s, a futurist could (maybe) afford to be a neutral observer of trends. Today, with over 50% of web content being synthetic and AGI looming ...neutrality feels like complicity. gerd.fm/4sqKxt6 and youtu.be/DJLxntgYukU?...

With the disastrous reign of 'The Don' and the irresponsible, greed-loaded drive for AGI, the U.S. seems to be headed towards what I've started to call #thebadfuture 😱 But - maybe it just has to get worse before it gets better:) Meanwhile, #Europe must 'take back tomorrow' and #thegoodfuture!
