The Great Regression of Artificial Unintelligence and How to Fix It | 1/8/26

We begin by addressing Trump’s order to ban corporate purchase of residential homes. While I agree with reversing this odious trend, we must not forget that it is a mere symptom of the broader problem of high prices created by government debt, Federal Reserve policies, and HUD policies. Trump is treating the symptom while supporting all the governmental policies that caused high prices. Next, we’re joined by Tim Estes, an AI entrepreneur, who passionately makes the case that our government is working with the wrong companies and the wrong strategy on perfecting AI. The AI path we are on is supplanting human dignity, unnaturally drawing investment away from more promising aspects of the technology, and will actually result in losing to China. Estes has an app he is developing to help parents harness technology to make the internet experience human-led and to combat all of the mental, cognitive, and social ills this technology has wrought in recent years.
