Must See, Must Read | A YouTube Video and an Article We Highly Recommend
Greetings sojourners. Due to required computer maintenance, there will not be a new episode of The Way of Tech this week. In its place, we'd like to share the YouTube video below featuring a TED talk by Tom Chi, a founder of Google X who left the company to devote his full attention to healing our planet. Chi's presentation reflects the positive potential and attitude toward technology shared by Singularity Sanctuary and our commitment to using it to create the future we want. Chi's unique framing, positive approach, and real-world examples of what's working, makes this a must see!
We'd also like to share a link to an interesting and important article brought to our attention by Singularity Sanctuary member Bob Bernstein. Thanks Bob!
Here's a synopsis that might pique your interest:
A Clear-Eyed Look at AI’s Financial Moment
A recent J.P. Morgan Eye on the Market report, “Smothering Heights,” takes a sober look at the financial forces shaping today’s AI boom—and it’s worth a glance.
The authors argue that AI’s impact is already real and profound, but highly concentrated among a small group of dominant tech companies. They explore questions many of us are quietly asking: What happens when growth is narrow? Can infrastructure and energy keep up? How do geopolitics and massive capital spending shape what comes next?
Importantly, this isn’t a “doom” piece. It doesn’t claim AI is a mirage or a bubble—only that transformative moments come with real constraints and tradeoffs that deserve attention.
For those interested in thinking clearly—without panic or hype—this is a thoughtful contribution to the conversation.
