Same robot, same technology, very different outcomes—depending on who owns it.⁣ ⁣ If Megan owns the AI that does her job, she keeps her income and gets her time back: reading, traveling, seeing friends. If her employer owns it, the gains from that AI may show up somewhere else—higher...

Same robot, two futures.⁣ ⁣ Give Heather a robot that does her job, and she gets to go to the beach.⁣ ⁣ Give that same robot to her boss, and Heather's income goes to zero.⁣ ⁣ AI isn't utopia or dystopia by nature. It's about who owns the robot. That's a choice we still get to make.⁣ ⁣

Enterprise AI has been missing a critical layer. Not a better model. Someone who owns the work after the demo. @Unframe just named it: the Applied AI Lab. Your team owns the business problem. The lab owns keeping up with AI. #UnframePartner

Who owns the medical system? Rockefeller, Rothschilds, and Carnegies. The same group owns all the dentists, eye docs, and veterinarians. ➡️the industries gets paid to keep you sick otherwise they wouldn't have a job.

If you are looking at lawnmowers this Spring. That ‘selection’ at the big box store isn’t one. Just different colors of the same thing. Research who owns what.

Intelligence is becoming infrastructure. The question is: who owns it and who does it serve? Emad on why we’re building the Intelligent Internet: a system where AI creates real public value and proves it.

Kamala Harris owns the Biden-Harris policies that have driven costs sky-high for Americans. Her proposal to tax unrealized gains is imbecilic and would do even more harm to the economy.

Zohran Mamdani on AI: “We’re seeing such a reckless adoption of technology without any kid of a reckoning with the limitations of that technology. We’re seeing reports of our military killing Iranian schoolchildren and then a Pentagon investigation making it clear that an overreliance on AI was part of the killing of more than 100 schoolchildren. There is this desire to speak about it as if it’s infallible, as if it cannot be questioned, as if the only people who can regulate it are the ones who are currently developing it”

AI has the IQ of a genius. And the memory of a goldfish. That’s why today’s AI still feels frustrating. But here’s the question nobody’s asking… What happens when AI remembers everything about you? And more importantly… Who owns that memory? Day 321.

Tristan Harris, former Google design ethicist and co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, has spent years warning about what happens when AI is controlled by a small number of companies. His warning about AI is simple: If AI replaces all of human work, who owns the value it creates? Right now, a handful of Big Tech companies are spending billions to build AI capable of doing more and more of the work humans do. If they succeed, they own the models. They own the automation. They capture the upside. Everyone else gets disrupted. At Action Model, we believe the people whose data, behavior and contributions help train AI should have a stake in the value it creates. That’s why we’re building a community-owned AI ecosystem where contributors can participate in the upside of the technology they help build. AI replacing more human work may be inevitable. A handful of companies owning the entire AI economy isn’t.

A lot of AI debate gets stuck on whether the technology is “real.” The more useful question is economic: if it works, who benefits, how fast, and under what rules?

Geoffrey Hinton (Godfather of AI) says increasing AI productivity could actually make society worse More goods. More services. More of everything, for everyone. That is what a huge jump in productivity is supposed to deliver. The reason it won't has nothing to do with the technology failing. It has to do with who owns it. The productivity shows up. The profits go to the big companies and the rich. The people whose jobs disappear get nothing back. So the gap widens. And the gap is the actual danger here, not the machines. Hinton: "as soon as you increase that gap, you get fertile ground for fascism" He is not arguing against the technology. He says it will obviously help healthcare and education. His fear is narrower. If the profits only travel upward, something built to help everybody ends up making society worse.
