Ex-Google Insider WARNS: "You Are Not Prepared For 2027"

Ex-Google design ethicist and AI expert Tristan Harris reveals the truth about what artificial intelligence is about to do to jobs, the economy, politics, and the future of human purpose. After years inside Google and more than a decade researching the social effects of technology, Tristan warns that we are approaching a moment where AI outpaces human control and reshapes society faster than governments can react.

Drawing on examples from social media, global trade, student debt, and national security, Tristan shows how AI will redefine every issue from immigration to democracy. He also shares the personal story behind his mission to warn the world before it is too late.

‘A one-time, $1,200 check isn’t going to cut it’: Dems propose $2,000/month stimulus during COVID-19

Democratic Reps. Tim Ryan and Ro Khanna introduced a bill, the Emergency Money for the People Act, that would send Americans 16 or older who make less than $130,000 a year, $2,000 every month for at least the next six months. The hope is to help out Americans who are losing jobs in historically alarming numbers. Rep. Ryan explained in a press release that, “The economic impact of this virus is unprecedented for our country. As millions of Americans file for unemployment week over week, we have to work quickly to patch the dam—and that means putting cash in the hands of hard-working families,” going on to explain that the Emergency Money for the People Act is the second step in much-needed economic relief.
