BRAIN FOOD: Politics is Technology
“Politics is downstream from culture. So I actually learned this from somebody who I think of as one of the great philosophers of our age - Steve Bannon.
He actually stole it from somebody else. But it's not politicians who have the power. He knows that. It's why he's a podcast bro, these days. But culture now is just what's next on your phone. And that's AI.
Culture is AI now. And forget the killer robots. If you want to know what the first great AI apocalypse is, we're already living it. It's total information collapse. And if you take one thing only away from this talk, it's politics is technology now. And that's why everybody in this room, you can't look away.
It's why your CEOs have been taken captive and are paraded on TV like hostages. But you, you have a choice.”

I hope you’re enjoying a well earned break this Easter. And, as always, mind how you go out there.
