When “Work” Stops Working We built an entire civilization on a single equation: Work = Worth. If you contribute to the machine, you deserve to eat. If you can’t, or won’t, you fall behind. But as AI and automation advance, that equation no longer balances. The truth is uncomfortable: we simply don’t need everyone to “work” in the traditional sense to keep society running. Machines can now do in seconds what once took teams of humans weeks — and that gap is only widening. So what happens when we no longer need millions of people to produce the same output? What happens when 20% of the workforce does 80% of the work — or when algorithms quietly do it all? We’re beginning to see the cracks. Many jobs exist not because they add value, but because their existence maintains hierarchy. Entire layers of bureaucracy survive to justify themselves, not to serve a purpose. We reward gatekeeping because it looks like leadership, and we call conformity “professionalism.” It’s an old survival system built on ego and fear — one that can’t imagine worth outside of constant productivity. But here’s the deeper cost: when you measure human value only through output, you end up with a society afraid to rest, to reflect, or to feel. People learn to equate stillness with failure. They suppress creativity to survive systems that never invited their full selves. And over time, that suppression becomes cultural — inherited, defended, and even celebrated as “work ethic.” AI is exposing the fragility of that story. If machines can perform 90% of routine tasks, what’s left is humanity itself — connection, care, art, innovation, empathy, and wisdom. These are not luxuries. They’re the very things that make life meaningful — the things our current economic models never learned to measure. So perhaps the next chapter of civilization won’t be about saving jobs, but saving our sense of worth. Maybe the real question isn’t “How do we make everyone work?” It’s: “How do we help everyone matter?”

🚨 An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return’ Patrick Gelsinger, former CEO of Intel, has taken a bold new direction in his career — stepping into the role of Executive Chairman at Gloo, a tech company focused on serving the "faith ecosystem." Gloo is building tools like AI assistants and chatbots designed specifically for churches and ministries — think Salesforce, but for spiritual communities. The goal? To support pastoral work and ministry outreach through automation and data-driven insights. This move comes just months after Gelsinger was ousted from Intel and sued by shareholders. Now, he's channeling his energy into what he sees as a higher calling: using technology to advance Christian principles and, in his words, “hasten the coming of Christ’s return.” His pivot also reflects a broader trend in Silicon Valley, where tech leaders are increasingly engaging with politics and religion. With the resurgence of religious conservatism in Washington under a second Trump administration, some tech figures are aligning their innovations with faith-based missions. Whether you see it as visionary or controversial, this development marks a significant intersection of AI, faith, and leadership in the tech world. #superintelligencenews #superintelligencenewsletter #AI #FaithTech #ChristianAI #SiliconValley #TechLeadership #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfTech #DigitalMinistry #ChurchTech

20,000 of you. Wow. When I started talking about human potential in tech, a lot of people thought it was too soft for Silicon Valley. Now we're building a future where AI amplifies our humanity instead of replacing it. Thank you for being part of this conversation. For believing that mental, emotional, and social health matters just as much as the tech we build. Here's to the next chapter of AI+HI together. #AIandHI #HumanPotential #FutureOfWork #Leadership #TransformativeTech #WellbeingTech #MESH

We’re in a race for relevancy. If we keep investing in technology instead of our humanity, we’ll win the tech race and lose the human one. The future belongs to those who invest in people, not just progress. 💭 Are we preparing our workforce — or replacing it? Travis Allen Arvin Ross Michelle Ament, EdD Aaron Makelky, M.A. Ed.

Cerebras isn’t changing the world because of our founders vision. We’re changing it because one of the most extraordinary engineering teams on the planet turned our vision into reality. Vision without execution is PowerPoint. From the start, our co-founders - Sean, Gary, Michael, and JP - were some of the leading chips visionaries in the world. In 2015 they saw the rise of AI. And knew we could build a a faster processor for it. Around them we’ve built a team of more than 500 brilliant engineers across hardware, software, compilers and AI- including nearly 100 who've worked with us for decades and across multiple companies. In podcasts and on panels people often ask me about vision or leadership. They rarely ask about the team. But that is where the magic is.

🌍 Humanity First: The True Measure of Progress In our race toward innovation, it's easy to be dazzled by the brilliance of technology—AI breakthroughs, quantum computing, biotech revolutions. But here's the truth we must never forget: technology is a tool, not a purpose. When development loses sight of humanity, it risks becoming a force of division, exploitation, and harm. A product that doesn’t serve people—doesn’t protect dignity, equity, or wellbeing—isn’t progress. It’s regression wrapped in shiny packaging. ⚠️ The risks of dehumanized innovation are real:  Algorithms that reinforce bias.  Automation that displaces without reskilling.  Data systems that invade privacy.  Platforms that erode mental health. We must ask:   Who benefits? Who is left behind? Who is harmed? 💡 Human-centered design isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.   Technology should amplify empathy, not replace it. It should solve real problems, not just chase novelty. And it must be governed by ethics, not just efficiency. Let’s build a future where humanity is the compass, not just the passenger. #HumanCenteredDesign #EthicalTech #InnovationWithPurpose #Leadership #FutureOfWork #TechForGood

This is just a smidge of the new dangers of AI and why having a bunch of indulged Tech Bros in charge of our communication systems and culture and politics is one of the worst ideas we’ve ever messed with. Moral courage, noble principles, and real safety guard rails have never been more important in leadership. So whether you’re a business leader or in politics, please take this into consideration with the utmost seriousness because how we program our AI is going to define the future of many generations to come. And right now it would be like sending a kid into a dark arcade, leaving them there alone, and just hoping for the best. Danger. Danger is here. Character in leadership has never been more important - not ever.

Watch the video. Research that interrogates how unchecked AI creates corporate social IRRESPONSIBILITY is needed. The movie Social Dilemma gave us an early insight but AI has changed the CSiR landscape.

If you think you are safe from AI in a car just watch this video. You will realise even a chatbot in a car needs #AIEthics and #theAILaws. AI needs rules in its own language - encoded! It does not need human complicated (or ambiguous!) legislation.

This is exactly why we need to have an international standard for trust and ethics in AI for commercial use - or otherwise.
