AI is a bubble.
But it’s also a revolution.

We’re overvaluing the noise—and undervaluing the shift.

This isn’t just another tech cycle.
It’s a rewrite of how society works.

Speculation is peaking, but the real transformation has barely started.

Smartphones created the internet era.

AR glasses will create the Human OS era.

The choice is blunt: upgrade, or be left behind.

The launch of a full-scale invasion is not an accident of the moment, nor a sudden eruption of irrationality.

This is not merely an embarrassment on the global stage. It is something far more dangerous: the deliberate opening of Pandora’s box.

There’s been buzz about “autonomous AI interviewers” this week.

At @enquire_ai , this isn’t news—we’ve been running hundreds of AI-led calls for clients this year.

The real distinction is how we built it: not as a feature, but as part of a fully agentic AI workflow.

Why Are Federal Troops in D.C.? Because Trump 2028 Already Started

You don’t deploy federal troops in a city where crime is falling unless you're preparing for something far more serious than public safety.

The Productivity Paradox of AI

Cenk Sidar @cenksidar.bsky.social · Aug 11

AI’s real disruption isn’t jobs
It’s hours

technology can hand us time capital — surplus hours we choose to invest, consume, or waste.

How you use that surplus will decide your success!

Here is my substack on this👇

Why the real question isn’t “What can AI do?” but “What will you do with the surplus time?”

What is one of the major political risks in the world today?

Not AI.
Not Middle East.
Not Trade Wars.
Not even China.

Something more human.
More predictable.

Yet more dangerous:

Too many old men, with too little time, and too much power.

Too many world leaders today are governing on borrowed time. They’re not focused on long-term stability. They’re focused on cementing their legacies

The result? Risk-maximizing decisions by men who won’t be around for the consequences

If your conversation about longevity still revolves around mitochondria, magnesium supplements, and Bryan Johnson’s increasingly bizarre looks, you're missing the bigger picture.
