Great perspective on AI and sums it up really well. It is a tool that has the potential to significantly benefit and advance society controlled by very wealthy men who have no concept of what society is. We are in a battle where rational caring humans are being overtaken by people that don't care about the risks just their enrichment. I hope humanity wins 🙏🏾

Thank you for bringing all these very relevant topics to light and helping me see I need to be more thoughtful about what I say sometimes about AI and not as casual as I would like to be, but maybe somewhere in the middle neutral .🙏🏼 Namaste

That was a very interesting concept/perception, Robert. Makes me thankful I didn’t grow up with this dilemma - my kids were only exposed to it when they were a bit older and am happy I can choose how I engage with it. Thanks for sharing.

Not a great recording technology wise but a wonderful message on the perspective of our internal judging system/process
