Have you longed for some wise people talking about #AI, who know what they’re speaking about, but aren’t at the same time in the ownership or beneficiary classes from these technologies?
So have I.
The myths Silicon Valley tries to sell us are busted here, but not in a dismissive or doomy way. Harari & Raskin recognize the amazing potential of AI, while they see also the potential of not having a functioning society at the end to enjoy the benefits.

in reply to Toni Aittoniemi • • •If nothing else, Harari’s comparison of Silicon Valley to the Bolshevik party is priceless! 😃
The similarities are indeed striking: Here is a small group of people, who think they are a vanguard that can re-engineer society from scratch.
This small group of people think they know something the entire rest of the world doesn’t, and that they can engineer a utopia. And because they believe in it so hard, that gives them the permission to harm a lot of people on the way.
