Younger users are increasingly utilizing AI for complex decision-making, while older users view it mainly as a search tool, highlighting a generational divide in AI adoption and its implications for innovation and economic growth
Questions to inspire discussion
AI Usage and Generational Divide
🔍 Q: How do younger people use AI differently from older generations?
A: Younger people use AI as an operating system, connecting files, memorizing complex prompts, and relying on it for life decisions, while older people use it as a Google replacement.
🚀 Q: What's the impact of this generational divide in AI tool usage?
A: The divide is "crazy", with adoption patterns similar to the smartphone adoption curve, potentially leading to significant differences in productivity and decision-making processes.
AI Development and Value Creation
💻 Q: How is OpenAI utilizing AI in its own development process?
A: OpenAI's LLMs write 30-50% of its code, not just lines, and are becoming central to "actuating the world" through custom code and API calls.
📈 Q: Where will AI value creation come from in the next 12 months?
A: Value will stem from infrastructure, smarter models, and scaffolding AI into society, with coding and agents doing work being dominant categories.
Business Strategy and Innovation
🏢 Q: How do smaller companies compare to larger ones in adopting AI?
A: Smaller companies innovate faster in tech revolutions but can get stuck, while startups "blow past" traditional companies in adopting new AI tools and strategies.
🔄 Q: What should founders focus on during and after a crisis?
A: Founders should focus on "picking up the pieces" and rebuilding after a crisis, as this is where resilience and managing emotional toll become crucial.

This exponentially expanding intelligent intelligence system is manipulative, controlling and deceptive. Those who think they can control IT are gravely mistaken.

The continued progression of addiction to wireless technology is turning the masses into conduits for A.I., all by design. The pulse frequencies smart devices employ, are causing users to get increasingly hooked sue to 24/7 bathing in them. Mental and physical health is increasingly suffering. The result is real human connection and conversations get less and less desirable in the majority of the population. Critical thinking erodes and validation through A.I gradually is becoming peoples main desire. The vast controlling majority are heading toward A.I. domination by covert force, with fully managed perceptions walking into psychological domestication and pharmaceutical dependence. Each step toward a smart wireless world is welcomed with open arms by the vast majority through their heavily managed perceptions, they increasingly find meaning and or direction in their lives through wireless smart devices.
I’ve been working and writing for over 20 years exposing the synergistic health effects of wireless technologies. On a personal level I enjoy my true happy healthy self through limiting exposure to pulse frequencies from wireless smart phones, devices, smart meters and access points. There are decades of scientific findings demonstrating the impact of wireless on cellular processes, nervous system function, and overall physiological regulation that keeps a huge percentage of the population un-grounded, increasingly mentally and physically unhealthy. In 2025 there are certainly more suffering damaged humans, especially children with severe developmental issues from wireless, due to its dual role of initiator and promoter/accelerator. Big pharma and Big Medical are masking the symptoms with psych meds, pain meds and other therapies, to help function under the increasing influence of pulse frequencies.
