There is Too Much AI Hype—This is How To Defend Your Brain and Stay Calm

A lot of what I do on my Substack is build AI hype immune systems—mental frameworks that help you figure out what's real and what's not—here's the principles I use to keep myself sane

I realized that it was time to tell you more of the secret sauce around how I stay sane these days. There is so much AI hype. I would classify it as a meme, or a mind virus that’s designed to infect our brains and short-circuit our ability to think well.

That’s where a lot of the hype around the environmental impact of AI, or the job impact of AI, or the intelligence impact of AI ends up hitting—right in our lizard brain where we react emotionally before we can think straight.

So this is your defense class. This is how to think critically about the next piece of news that comes along in the AI world. This is how to build an immune system for your brain.
