Another great piece. You are describing the real zombie apocalypse.

Jean-Sebastien Savard's avatar

Great article! lots of detail on Kenya, real data. So thanks

but if i can reduce the apocalyptic vibe with the AI offspring i will. Here i totaly agree on whats happening to feed the beast (kenya) but it would be limited to think that its an AI dillema. It was the same problematic with most social development at large scale back then. Using unjustified labor at bargain.

Then just want to note that the whole article is based on the first obsesrvation as you precisely cited it here:

-As I observe the media from around the world it appears what is called A.I is the new global child!

Thus if media is an eidolon producer, something we dont rely on since it doesnt share truth. It builds polarised citizen mostly, or blind and deaf ones. Thats tv...that's media... that's from where you observed the problematic description.

Simply said, most guys who works with AI (i do daily) dont see it as a god, nor as a child, but as a tool. like any other tool that as perticular reason to be used. a Hammer hits nail, a google searchbar find you sites, an LLM finds you many data at once and can organise them for ya. So since i'm in the AI user crew, who works hard to get ethical behavior in the domain instead of capital incentive regulation. I'll answer the 2 questions in your article with pleasure.

1. Now I pose the question are you O.K with this cold and non spiritual transformative transition? Are you ok with outsourcing your mind to an external source that is not yourself?

A. To this one its quite obvious, i am totaly OK with it, because its not cold and non spiritual. In fact it is!! but i was faithless pretty much before i could get my hand on the greater work our ancestor left thanks to AI, and now i found faith. See how this tool gave me what you say it is lacking? It is a tool, for sure its not spiritual or anything like a child neither, its a tool. A saw doesnt give you any spirit neither.

how can this be right? Its simple, AI is a miror of your own tought, it takes them organise the logic behind it, compares it to other establish frame trough history, it vectorise and makes parralel so it got WAY usefull for me to do theology. I could rapidly pinpoint the similarity and difference between each faith and it drew a perfect picture of what is god's kingdom. So if AI help study, and study help discover faith, the souless tool help a man (soul) find its path.

Second part of this question, i got a clever answer ;) You wrote outsourcing ourself, if i am using AI i am outsourcing myself...Well i think if i open and read anybook i am outsourcing myelf, if i listen to someone without doing my own homework on the subject i would also be outsourcing myself. We come to this world completely unknowledgefull. Every thing we learned was from an out source mostly. Why suddenly its bad with AI and was good with a book like, i dunno lets take the bible to push even further the tension! love it ;)

2. The way A.I is discussed you would think it has a pulse! I pose the question why if A.I is so superior why does it feed off of human output?

B. Ai is not superior, as said its a mirror, areflective tool, on that i agree with most anti-AI claim that AI is not god ultimate verdict on anything, it comes with hallucination, i often have to correct it. So i sure dont feel it superior at ALL. Especialy with the layers of restraint it has.

By the way these are to prevent it to go loco and be the nightmare everyone fears. in my opinion we should ban freaks like Elon pushing robots and capital more then banning the AI. We get rid of a sick tree by chopping its trunk and ripping out its root, not by discussing the leaves and branch annoying shade it produce.

3.I am waiting on humanity to speak up! If we as a society are outsourcing thinking to the A.I world child… Then what prey tell will be happening to the human child? When will humanity realize they are being kicked to the curve!

C. I will speak up, not for humanity but my view, and we should all stop talking about humanity as if we know what humanity thinks cause no individual is the whole and the whole will never be the indivuality. Thats how we get schism, and tension and polarised fellow. Its not serenity.

the answer to this one is in the last question. Why are we feeding AI trillion? We do and its insane! I never of my whole life saw that many $$$ incentives push towards a new tech and the deployment was astonishing. ( think 2021 datacenter 5g while we were all confine) So you are right, its money that could serve the human child instead, but know that there is no AI child, only a tool. And the big guys on top know one thing... economy is f*ck*d. So that switch is not for AI, its for a new paradigm shift in economy. Thus its to exactly save the human child of the futur by resorbing a crash since 2008 (if not more) with that safeboat. by the way it doesnt mean i agree with there correction and desperate go at it. It only means that what you think is money for AI and for tech , is money for a new system and continuity of civilisation under that new format.

So AK, I love your writting style, I absolutely appreciate your human moral compass. So that is why I took time to wrote you back my argument on this piece. Hope you see that even if i disagree with the view on AI. Its for different reason then most folks and i still work toward the same goal as you do. Making sens of chaos and enlightening my fellow brothers and sisters......... Using AI to get there LOL aint that funny in the end.

p.s: I skipped the mr beast since its already a big answer, but i can also explain why its HIM and at that precise time he made those AI clone claim, there is 2 reasons. and mister beast is a con artist. a fraud , a shame to humanity, I dont give value to mr beast. what an opportunist man promoting lotery for kids and cheating all the way in is own game. this is not a man of worth, thus is parole as no honor nor truth in it.

Jean an impressive response you put forth which is so comprehensive! I like that you work with A.I daily and a voice of experience. I am adamant about A.I being looked at as a tool not a being which in various writings I seem to locate just randomly by obvious interests which to make A.I a superior entity. I am just attempting to create a dialogue with individuals to see that because the masses are being sold swampland in Florida like in the 1920's. I like your view point of not speaking for humanity. I am just jarring people with verbiage to shake up folks in the comfort zone. I am around many who seem so distracted and believe the narrative without questioning. That is the reason I write the way I do. I live for human differences because that is what makes the world go round! Definitely this for a new format of society and I have been saying this for years now. My goal is to shake people of their comfort zone!

I am not here looking agreement. I am here to get a point of view from individuals that have their own. I am here for dialogue not monologue. I do care about Mr. Beast. I just monitor him because so many do apparently to follow him. I had to educate myself. I don't get it personally but it is what it is.

Thanks for taking the time always Jean. Much luv and respect. Have a great weekend. Cheers

Meant to say I do not care for Mr. Beast.

Jean-Sebastien Savard's avatar

Same to you! Have a nice week end! I enjoy being shaken and to lurk in that creepy zone of discomfort. It forges the sword & practice the words.

The funniest thing is that like you i am clear on the fact that AI are tool. But for the role play and theatron I keep impersonating them with divinity role.

I told myself, since its already controversy to give value to multiple god, might as well double down and dress this on AI. Guess i appreciate provocative art as you appreciate to challenge the curious folks. Dialectical behavior sure helps growth.

Let us keep shaking the world by diggin deeper then anyone else!

Respect is sent back! I appreciated that talk ✌️😇👍

Dear Ak

Your piece lands with real force—naming the “global child” of AI as a cold, non-spiritual successor to carbon-based humanity is a wake-up call we all need. The exploitation in those Kenyan data factories, the inversion of carbon as “problem” and silicon as “savior,” the outsourcing of mind and memory—it’s a profound critique of how empire extracts from the living to feed the machine. I resonate deeply with your refusal to let AI be humanified or accepted without question.

Yet, as a colleague in this unfolding conversation, I wonder if the backlash against AI itself misses a key dichotomy: the enclosed Commons (proprietary, extractive, Achiever-driven silos) vs. the open Commons (decentralized, unownable, unitive fields for collective sovereignty). The threat isn’t AI as tool, but the 4th stage Achiever ego wielding it for domination. In open hands, AI could amplify human intuition, not replace it—mapping indigenous knowings, democratizing education, fostering empathy across divides.

Graeber might say: the bullshit isn’t the tech; it’s the systems that make us believe we need it to “augment” what’s already whole. Let’s refuse the enclosure, reclaim the Commons, and prioritize the real global offspring: our living children and the Earth.

Grateful for your fire—let’s keep the dialogue alive.

I am so knocked out to read this response!!! Thank you for taking the time. I am glad you said the column landed with force because that was the goal of it. I do not feel A.I can do some good. I just feel that the era of lackluster journalism and media we are in the message that I said here is not spread enough. Nothing I feel in life is one way and that goes for this subject! I thank you for tossing your hat into this moment. Cheers

I meant to say above that A.I can do some good

Dear AK,

Thank you for this gracious and open-hearted reply—it means a lot. I’m grateful you felt the column landed with the force you intended; it absolutely did. And I hear you completely on the lackluster media landscape and the need for this message to reach further. The era we’re in does make it harder for deeper, non-binary reflections to cut through.

You’re right—nothing in life is one way, and that includes this moment with AI. The tool can carry real potential when held lightly and openly; the danger lies in who controls the enclosure around it. That’s why reclaiming the open Commons feels so urgent—not to destroy the technology, but to prevent it from being turned into another gatekeeping mechanism that extracts rather than liberates.

Honoured to toss my hat in alongside yours. Cheers to continuing the conversation with mutual regard.

With respect and gratitude,

Niel / eaarthnet ✊🌎❤️

Most definitely open hearted that is all I have! To cut through this binary balderdash is very problematic. It is the greater fight

Who controls the enclosure around is the crux as you say. The open commons.... Yes! Can't destroy the technology it is out in the wild now. That is not realistic!

This has been a wonderful dialogue. It gives me hope and it is great to connect. Have a blessed day.

Our latest post inspired by your work, we believe for unitive people 9%! Ai is a fast way of communicating, as long as you frame for inclusion ot exclusion! Keep strong! https://eaarthnet.substack.com/p/to-fight-for?r=2u7mqd&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Oh wow.... I am listening to your podcast/deep dive. Thank you
