The start of a new year is always a great moment to pause, reflect on what you built last year, and get clear on what you want to create next. I just want to say thank you to every single one of you for being part of this automation tribe. The conversations, experiments, questions, and shared wins are what make this community special. I’m excited to see how much we grow together this year , more systems, smarter workflows, and real results. Wishing you all a productive, focused, and automation-powered year ahead 🚀⚙️ Cheers, Razvan

"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect" - Mark Twain We all are constantly bombarded and inundated with "the latest and greatest" development(s) that we rarely pause and reflect on what all of this really means and how to ground ourselves the best we can. Having watched this interview 3+ months ago and rewatched it last night gave me a completely different perspective on where we're heading... Karen perhaps put it the best "AGI religion"! Please do yourself a favour and set some time to watch the whole interview and then read Karen's book "Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI" - you'll thank me later. 😉 TL;DR(W) In this interview, Karen Hao reveals how major Silicon Valley AI companies operate with cult-like leadership, unchecked power, and exploitative practices. She discusses OpenAI’s transformation from a non-profit mission to a money-driven monopoly, the environmental costs of data centers, and the global South’s harsh labor conditions supporting these tech giants. The video draws strong parallels between today’s AI firms and historical empires—highlighting their adverse impacts on democracy, workers, and communities as they extract resources and influence policy for unchecked expansion. AI’s rapid growth offers innovation but mirrors old colonial and monopolistic patterns— risking democracy and community welfare. Get informed and take action—support independent experts, demand transparency, and ensure AI development serves society, not just big tech. Power to the people! ✊🏻
