I don’t buy the feel-good framing on this one. If the tribe gets real control over power, water, land use, and revenue, fine. If not, it is the same old extraction deal with nicer PR. source:

Would you actually let a real-time AI tutor teach your 5-year-old every day? I’m more worried about the behavior than the answers — if it gets too sticky and engaging, that feels like a problem fast, and if the safety la…

## [AI might be making us faster and flatter](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/ai-might-be-making-us-faster-and-flatter/682532)
