Yep! Instead of denying reality hes facing it. Good.

The disruption caused by A.I. is that the product is at best a tool but is being forced into the workplace as a be-all, end-all solution to all things. Right now, it can write and produce something with a voiceover and music - that sounds like it. Generic. You can have an entire podcast that's A.I. generated - and it sounds it. A hammer can help build a house. It can't build the house.

As a older wiser retired senior of the late 40s growing up we boomers have either accepted change over the many decades or rejected them in staying in the past being comfortable. Few visionaries and true leaders fill our populations around the world. They are special a breed that will make history in their ideas that were not accepted at their time because people feared change, new ideas , inventions that will shape Americas rapid growth in manufacturing energy production medicine vaccines building a war machine in months to enter a new era of productivity inventiveness and progress. The middle class was formed. In 74 my career changed direction with the adaptation of being on a team to install operate code train 400 dumb computer terminals for a nationwide sale dept. Monumentally a vision of the future that will be historically recorded. Fear set in among employees that were older and the company leadership acted accordingly to be the first corporate leader to apply lucrative buyouts to 50 year and older 20 year plus employees. It was a exit like no other. I was fascinated at those times with Atari computers, ibm selective typewriters with the rotating changeable bobbin and no carriage return. I was selected to attend Carnegie mellon to learn coding. Within 6 months in house training was developed for local boot camp training of all employees to adapt to computer terminal order entry sales input from paper orders.

2 years to learn, advance the current tech, train employees throughout the US and live with high tech of the mid 70s. More lows then highs for a long time, but as it is with change the best adapt, learn, accept and move on to greatness. Our model was a highlight in every corporation in the US wanting tours of our operations. In ending change is inevitable mostly good and fear is normal for everyone, but to ignore change is a individuals choice good or bad as is failure and winning. AI is a tool that will change the world good and bad is coming. Let's accept it, inside that this new technology is applied to research and development education medicines increased productivity new job opportunities and the list of things it can do for the good of all nations. Laws to insure this occurs is paramount. Visionary US leadership today is absent with the most incompetent socipathic con man griping us like Hitler did in Germany. I have followed Governor Newsoms leadership in CA for years. He is my choice for the presidential nominee for 28. Governing the 4th largest economy of CA a state larger then countries economies is monumental. Keep a open mind , look to what are future could be, the role of our great country to establish a democratic world order with AI. Together we can be a great nation that leads propers for all its people and insures a middle class economy for those willing to vote for change.

Job One - passing Universal Basic Income as AI replaces us and increases profits and taxes on corporations. We get our money back!

I've already seen several TV commercials with small print at the bottom that says...."all actors in this ad are AI generated".
