In this Tech Talk livestream, I dig into a bunch of stuff that’s got my “wait… what the hell is going on?” alarm going off—starting with the idea of the U.S. quietly positioning itself around the future of AI. We talk about government influence, big strategic stakes (like the Intel conversation), and what that could mean when the most powerful tech on the planet is moving at breakneck speed. Generative AI is advancing so fast right now that it’s not even funny—cool, terrifying, and messy all at the same time. From there, I pivot into the bigger social fallout: speech, platforms, and who gets to decide what’s “allowed” online. I’m not here to do the pearl-clutching thing, but I am here to call out the reality that algorithmic control and censorship pressure are becoming a real problem, especially when tech and politics start holding hands behind closed doors. Like always, it’s a live conversation—tangents and all—because that’s how you actually connect the dots in real time and figure out what matters to normal people who just want their tech to work and their voices to not get throttled.
