I have an optimistic view regarding your first point on information. As large scale news gathering sources become unprofitable & automated, other new outlets have arisen. Many of our great journalists are on Substack (Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibi, Alex Berenson) and X (Catherine Herridge & Mike Benz). I feel like I get better stories than ever from these now independent journalists.
On AI, I also take an optimistic view. I highly recommend the All-in podcast discussions on this topic. I've learned so much from the besties. Last Friday's episode talked about AI increasing the amount of capital available for investment. AI also allows faster startups with fewer resources. Their perspectives are fascinating. No doubt the impact on individuals will be difficult but AI will be a boon to the overall economy.
Appreciate you calling out independent journalists who have taken Substack and X in full stride. It's been a blessing in disguise. We're getting higher quality, more informative news than we did when a handful of publications and outlets had a monopoly on distributing it.
Thanks for the podcast recommendation! I've heard of All-In but I admit I've never listened to it. Sounds like it's a good episode!
Very thought provoking as usual, Amanda!
