   I wanted the blue checkmark on LinkedIn. The one that says “this person is real.” In a sea of fake recruiters, bot accounts, and AI-generated headshots, it seemed like a smart thing to do.

   So I tapped “verify.” I scanned my passport. I took a selfie. Three minutes later — done. Badge acquired. I felt a tiny dopamine hit of legitimacy.

   Then I did what apparently nobody does. I went and read the privacy policy and terms of service.

   Not LinkedIn’s. The other company’s.

   Every pedo millie and billie on the Epstein books has a partner that enables their violence.
   Do not believe any of them when they cry "I didn't know."

   Because they do.

   So does she.

   "With Al, there are now two types of people. There who are still trying to understand it. And those who are doing it." - Futurist Jim Carroll

   As I prepared for and then delivered a presentation on AI yesterday, I couldn't help but think about how much I've integrated various tools into my workflow regularly - and how many people listening to my talk had their minds blown by what I was doing.

   The difference is stark - and I've come to see this more and more with what I do.

   So why is this happening?

   One group operates from a place of curiosity and opportunity, while the other views AI with apprehension and uncertainty. It goes to the key point I've always raised as a futurist - some people see the future as a threat. Other people see the same future and see an opportunity. AI fits right into this mindset chasm - folks who have never been comfortable aligning themselves ot the trends of tomorrow, or even accepting those trends, are clearly stuck in the paradigms of yesterday.

   Then there is the openness that people have to learning. One group is actively creating new workflows with AI - understanding it, exploring it, and integrating it into their routines. The other are still very much stuck in old ways of doing things, and have probably never really been a big fan of change in their daily routine.

   And that comes to a core point - one group is full of enthusiasm for change, and the other hates it. One group is excited for its potential; the other is fearful.

   The very nature of AI presents a conundrum for all of us, and how we rationalize it determines what we do with it. One group accepts that the debate over whether AI will be good or bad understands that, just like the Internet, the debate will never be solved. The other group is busy holding themselves back as some sort of personal rebellion. One decries the growth of AI 'slop,' while the other understands that the slop is inevitable, and so we might as well figure out how to deal with it.

   I could go on.

   Thirty years ago, I found myself very much in the midst of the same divergence of thinking as the Internet appeared on the scene. It didn't go away and came to have a profound impact on the future of all of us. Some of us aligned with it and built wonderful new careers - others dismissed it and didn't see the same opportunities.

   The key thing is, right now, if you are in the second camp, you face a choice - how quickly can you become a member of the first camp?

   Keep reading!

   Okay, maybe morbid, but I think another reason for the collective shrug about Charlie Kirk is that a lot of us have been spending a lot of our time lately deciding what risks we are willing to take, and...

   ...it occurred to us a long time ago that we might get shot because of something we choose to do.

   So, like, big whoop. If you are serious about the shit you're talking, you better be prepared for consequences. It's never been a game.

   in reply to

   @evan I'm asserting that all do. I haven't checked mine (was Shaw, now Rogers) since I first signed up but I'm assuming they do.

   So I answered Yes, but... I don't use it because I don't want to be tied to them.

   The tip is in the name, and the people promoting it.

   Like, you KNOW the Democratic Party hasn't been busy doing antifascism, right? Polling seems to indicate that you do.

   So what HAVE they been doing instead? I'll tell you - reinstalling Clintonism/neoliberalism. That's their focus, that's what they want to do with your anti Trump rage - turn it into election wins in 2026, 2028 for free market fundamentalist neoliberals of the precise kind that brought you to ruin.
