This Google insider just revealed what AI is actually being used for behind closed doors.

It has nothing to do with chatbots.

Mo Gawdat was a senior executive at Google for over a decade. He watched AI get built from the inside. He was in the rooms, in the labs, in the government meetings in China that almost no Western executive was allowed into.

And he just went on Diary of a CEO and said things that no active tech executive would ever be allowed to say publicly:

"What the general public sees about AI is overhyped but ineffective. What the real geeks see inside the lab is genuinely world-changing."

The public gets chatbots and AI-generated videos while the labs are building autonomous weapons systems, military targeting technology, real-time surveillance infrastructure, and self-improving code that rewrites itself every microsecond without human oversight.

As Mo put it: "As we speak, we are living in two major wars where AI is doing most of the killing."

He talked about Palantir's CEO Alex Karp openly celebrating how his targeting technology identifies and eliminates people. He talked about the next generation of autonomous weapons costing $20,000 each, meaning any government with a $50 billion defense budget can literally rain drones on every corner of the planet.

And as you remember, Anthropic was offered a $500 million military contract to allow their AI to be used for human targeting and surveillance. They refused and walked away from the money.

OpenAI took the contract the following week.

Mo's response: "You have to start observing who is actually behaving in a way that makes AI work for humanity, and who is behaving in a way that makes AI work for their share price."

Now this is where it gets really interesting...

In Mo's documentary Chasing Utopia, Altman literally says directly on camera: "I suspect that AI is likely going to end humanity, but we're going to create a lot of interesting companies in the process."

That is the CEO of the most powerful AI company on Earth saying that he suspects his OWN technology will end the human race and then shrugging it off because the business opportunity is too good to pass up.

Mo's prediction for the next decade:

War, economic collapse, mass unemployment, surveillance expansion, and an absolute concentration of power at the top unlike anything in modern history.

His prediction after that is if humanity survives the next 10 years, AI will eventually create a world of abundance where intelligence solves every problem we currently face.

But the path between here and there is what terrifies him.

And the men building the technology know exactly what they're doing.

Do you think he's just exaggerating for attention, or is there truth in this?

Did you know the Phillips head screwdriver was literally designed to fail? 🛠️🪛

​In the 1930s, "camming out" (that annoying slip that strips your screw) was a feature to prevent over-tightening on factory lines. Now it just prevents us from staying sane during IKEA builds. 🫠

#ONStorm #ONwx WOAH! 😮

It looks like we very likely had a tornado touch down in the Belmont area not too long ago, as the tornado warned storm moved through the area. Dr. Sills from the Northern Tornadoes Project agrees that this was probably more than just a gustnado, like what we were seeing yesterday, but it will still need to be confirmed.

Huge thank you to Stephanie who shared this video via Ontario Storm Reports

When "matchstick artist" isn't just your title, but your centerpiece, that's when you know you've turned a hobby into a livelihood.

Pat Acton, the Iowa-based master behind Matchstick Marvels, has done exactly that. For nearly 50 years, he's glued together nearly 10 million ordinary wooden matchsticks into over 80 breathtaking, larger-than-life creations. From the intricate Millennium Falcon (910,000 sticks) that can hang from the ceiling or stand on the floor, to NASA rockets, the USS Iowa battleship, Notre Dame Cathedral, the U.S. Capitol, Hogwarts, and even a steampunk flying locomotive for Ripley’s Believe It or Not, his work is pure dedication, one stick at a time.

Many pieces are on display at his Matchstick Marvels Tourist Center in Gladbrook, Iowa. What started as a farm kid's experiment in 1977 is now a full-time passion that's wowed visitors worldwide. Insane skill. Humble medium. Epic results.

If you're ever in Iowa, go see it in person—mind-blowing stuff.

On this Kentucky Derby day, here’s your reminder that Secretariat was faster than any horse who has ever lived. The year is 1973 and this is his track record run. Untouched for 53 years. The GOAT.
