Free the Tate brothers.

Let me explain why I believe this matters.

If something like this can happen to highly influential figures who have millions of people watching and supporting them, then what about ordinary people who have no platform, no influence, and no one paying attention to their case?

How many innocent people could be sitting in cells, unable to make their voices heard?

Justice should not depend on your status, wealth, influence, or popularity. It should depend on evidence, transparency, and due process.

If there are people behind the scenes attempting to manipulate the case or frame them, those claims deserve to be investigated properly and, if supported by evidence, exposed.

No blind loyalty. No blind hatred.

Just truth, transparency, and justice.

If you believe the same, stand with us.

Don't let the truth get buried.

If AI can do almost everything, what is a human for?

I use AI for hours every day.

It writes, researches, builds, and checks things faster than I ever could.

A few months ago, I noticed something that bothered me.

I was getting more done than ever.
But I was thinking less than ever.
I'd give AI a task, skim what it made, say "looks good," and move on.

Day after day.

Busy on the outside.
Checked out on the inside.

That's when a question hit me, and I can't shake it.
If this thing can do almost everything I do, what am I actually for?

Most people won't ask this out loud.

They'll just feel it.
A quiet worry every time a new AI model comes out.

And new models keep coming.

GPT-6 Astra, Grok 4.7, and Claude Opus 5.5 all came out in less than three weeks.
So let's ask the question out loud.

There's one thing AI can't carry.

By the end of this, you'll know what it is.
And you'll know what to do about it.

You were taught that your job is who you are

Here's a hard truth.

Most of us grew up thinking we are only as good as the work we do.
In school, you got grades for your work.
At a job, you get paid for your work.
When you meet someone new, the first thing they ask is "what do you do?"

We learned this a long time ago, back when factories ran the world.

Back then, work was hard to do.
So the people who could do it mattered most.

In 1958, a thinker named Hannah Arendt saw a problem coming.

She said we were turning into:
"a society of laborers without labor."
In simple words: people who only know how to work, living in a world that doesn't need their work.

That world is here now.

And it's hitting hardest the people who believed "I am my job" the most.
For decades, about half of American workers have said their job is part of who they are.

Among people with a college degree: 70%
Among people without one: 45%

The more your work happens in your head, the more of yourself you've put into it.

And that's exactly the kind of work AI is taking on first.

When people lose their work, the money isn't the worst part.

The town that fell apart

In 1931, a factory closed in Marienthal, a small town in Austria.

Almost everyone in town lost their job at the same time.

The government gave good unemployment money.
So people still had money coming in.
Researchers went there expecting people to enjoy all the free time.

Instead, the town fell apart.

The researchers found that a job gives you five things besides money:

A shape to your day.

People to see outside your home.

A purpose bigger than yourself.

A reason to get up and move.

A feeling of where you stand.
Lose the job, and you lose all five.

People who win the lottery show the same thing from the other side.

In one study, 85% of winners kept working after they won.

We don't work only for money.

Work is how most of us answer the question, "what am I for?"
That town is a warning.
AI is about to do the same thing to millions of people.
Just slower.
And quieter.
If someone you love built their life around being good at their job, send them this.

The finish line keeps moving

When people feel scared of AI, they tell themselves things like:

"AI will never be truly creative."
"There will always be things only humans can do."

But look at what keeps happening.

Writing was human, until machines could write.
Reasoning was human, until machines could reason.
Building software was human, until machines could build it.

A computer scientist named Larry Tesler noticed this pattern decades ago.

He said intelligence is whatever machines haven't done yet.

We keep moving the finish line.
And AI keeps catching up faster.

An AI research group called METR has measured this for years.

The length of work AI can do on its own keeps doubling every four to seven months.

A few years ago, that meant seconds.
Today, it means hours.

If you think you're special because of a skill, you're standing on ground that keeps shrinking.
That isn't a plan.

It's a countdown.

Your advantage won't be having a skill AI can't do.
It will be having something worth doing.
There's a way to get there.

But most people pick one of two wrong answers first.

The 3 ways people live with AI

When I look at how people react to AI, I see three ways.

Most of us are all three, depending on the day.

1. The Defender

Holds tight to their skills.
Keeps saying AI can't really do what they do.
Every new AI model feels like an attack.

In the end, they lose the argument, because AI keeps getting better and they don't.

2. The Surrenderer

Gives everything to AI.
Gets more done than ever.
Slowly stops thinking.

Ethan Mollick, a professor at Wharton, warns about something called "cognitive surrender."

You stop doing your own thinking.

The work gets easier, but you learn less, judge less, and become less of yourself.

AI can help you do more while you decide less.

He warns about a future where AI makes all the interesting choices and leaves humans only the leftovers:

Saying yes.
Handling mistakes.
Cleaning up failures.

Slowly, AI becomes the author of your life.

You just sign off.

The Surrenderer becomes a rubber stamp.

If that one stung, you're not alone.

It stung me too.

3. The Owner

Uses AI for everything it's good at.
Keeps the parts that make them human.
Decides what matters.
Makes the hard calls.
Stands behind the result.
Stays the author of their own life.

Most people start as Defenders.

Most slowly turn into Surrenderers without noticing.

Very few choose to become Owners.
So what does an Owner actually keep?
IBM figured this out decades before ChatGPT existed.

One old sentence explains it better than any AI expert today.

The one thing AI can't carry

There's a line from an IBM training slide, reportedly from 1979:

"A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore a computer must never make a management decision."

In simple words: if something goes wrong, you can't blame a computer. So a computer shouldn't be the one making big decisions.

AI can write a plan for a company. It loses nothing if the company fails.
AI can plan your next career move. It doesn't lie awake wondering if it picked wrong.
AI can chase any goal you give it. But it pays no price when the goal was wrong.

Here it is.

The one thing AI can't carry is the cost of being wrong.

It has nothing at stake.

No job.
No reputation.
No family.
No future.

You do.

That's why you matter.

How you carry it: wanting, choosing, and owning

Wanting.

AI can suggest what you should want.
It can't care which one you pick.
Choosing.
Every real choice means giving up one good thing for another.
The bigger job or more time with your kids.
The safe path or the risky bet.
AI can list the pros and cons.
But someone has to pick, and live with it.
Owning.

Standing behind what happens.

People trust you, follow you, and build a reputation around you because of this.

Nobody trusts a machine that can't take the blame.

The better AI gets, the more these three matter.

AI is a tool that makes you more powerful.

But a tool can't tell you what to use that power for.

That part is your job.

AI beat humans at two famous games.

One game thrived.
One almost died.

Chess survived. Go almost didn't.

In 1997, a computer called Deep Blue beat the world chess champion.
Yet more people play chess today than ever before.
In 2016, a computer called AlphaGo beat one of the best Go players in the world.

After that, professional Go players reportedly lost their sense of meaning.
Many started copying the machine's moves.

The difference?

Most chess players play because they love the game.

Many Go professionals had built their whole identity on being the best, and now a machine was better.
It's not the whole story.
But it shows the pattern.
If who you are is a skill, AI will take it.
If who you are is what you're trying to make happen, AI will work for you.
The Ownership Plan

Most people will read this, nod, and change nothing.

So here's a plan.

Save this part. You'll want it later.

It takes about an hour.
Grab a pen and paper.

Part 1: Notice what you were taught (10 minutes)
Answer honestly:

How do I answer "what do I do?"
If AI could do that tomorrow, what would be left of me?
Which of my skills am I secretly afraid AI will make useless?
Where am I acting like a Defender? Where am I acting like a Surrenderer?

Part 2: Write two futures (20 minutes)

First, write the Rubber-Stamp Future.
It's five years from now.
You gave everything to AI and stopped thinking.

What does a normal Tuesday look like?
What choices do you still make?
Why does anyone come to you?
Be specific. Let it feel uncomfortable.

Then write the Owner's Future.

Same five years.
You used AI for everything it's good at.
But you kept the wanting, choosing, and owning for yourself.

What are you building?
What big calls are you known for?
What do you stand behind?

Part 3: Take action (30 minutes)

Hand over: List every task AI could do for you this week. Give one to AI today.

Keep: Pick one hard decision you'd usually avoid or hand off. Make it yourself this week.

Rebuild: Remember the five things a job gives you. Owning your choices gives you back two of them: purpose and a sense of where you stand. For the other three, pick one action each:

A shape to your day: a daily routine AI can't mess up.
People: someone you'll build or think with every week.
Movement: something that gets you up and making things.

Then ask the only question that really matters:

What am I trying to make happen?
That's how you stay the author of your own life.

If you can't answer it, that's your real problem.

It's not about getting more done.
It's about knowing where you're going.

No new AI model can fix that for you.

One last thing.

A man saw all of this coming almost 100 years ago.
And he left us a deadline.

The deadline

In 1930, a famous economist named John Maynard Keynes made a big prediction.

He said that within 100 years, technology would mostly solve the problem of earning a living.

Most people remember that he said we'd work only fifteen hours a week.
They forget what he was worried about.

He believed the real challenge would start after the money problem was solved:
How do you live a good life when work no longer needs all of you?

And he didn't think we'd be ready.

He wrote that we had been trained too long to strive and not to enjoy.

We got so used to working hard that we forgot how to live.

His 100 years end in 2030.

The machines will keep moving the finish line.
Let them.

You were never the tasks.

You were the one deciding what they were for.

If AI did all your work tomorrow, what would you still insist on doing yourself?
