Ep. 26 - How to survive the AI Age

from In the Long Run · host Joao Dias Ferreira, Marie Bemler, Jim Tolman

This week's episode opens with the Artemis II launch as a jumping-off point: progress doesn't happen automatically, it takes investment and will. Jim and João then unpack Alberto Romero's "How to Survive the Age of AI", drawing a sharp distinction between automation and systemic disruption. It's not the ATM that killed banking, digital banking did. The article's tips spark debate: don't obsess over AI skills, keep some tasks AI-free to stay sharp, and know when to stop prompting and start thinking for yourself.On the news front: Anthropic's Claude Code source code leak (human error, apparently) raises questions about accountability as AI agents take on more sensitive roles. OpenAI's Sora social network quietly winds down, too expensive, too unfocused. A Financial Times analysis finds AI chatbots are nudging people toward the political center, a striking contrast to social media's polarizing pull. And Elon Musk's TerraFab lands with Kardashev-scale ambition: own the chip supply chain, harness the sun, build for a galactic civilization. Bold or classic Musk overreach? Time will tell.
