March 16, 2026, (12 mins). Even during these turbulent times, this video about AI terrified me. Here's my thoughts on the issue. The Video:


"AI Expert Tells Bernie: The Humans Will Be Discarded." 12 days ago, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. (9 mins).

Will AI become smarter than humans? If so, is humanity in danger? I went to Silicon Valley to ask some of the leading AI experts that question. Here's what they had to say:

In my opinion there is a lot of fear-mongering around AI.
I can recommend a video which I think is on the mark. It is with Yanis Varoufakis, who I think is one of the most intelligent people on the planet. He has a book titled "Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism?"
There are a couple of videos that I find enlightening and scary as hell. Scary not because someone is trying to get my attention, or get a click, by screaming; these are somber people....

- "How technofedalism killed capitalism"
and

"Capitalism is over | Yanis Varoufakis on digital dictators and techno-feudal economics"

is exploring and emphasizing for good reason. He continually focuses on economic inequality which has been ongoing and dangerous for decades.

Yanis V. always provides interesting, unique discussions esp on technofeudal economics. I've seen videos of interviews with him for some years. Thanks for posting.
