Everyone’s shouting AI! But let’s be real — AI is just one part of tech, not the whole thing.
Tech companies are slapping the “AI” label on everything, even basic sensors. It’s hype over substance.
Yes, AI can help. But don’t use it just to ride the trend. Use AI only where it actually brings value.
Remember when people said computers would change the world? Same story.

Proton’s the latest tech company to [metaphorically] join the Republican Party. CEO Yen argues a point similar to Andreessen, that Dems support big tech and Republicans (JD Vance) support little tech. Big tech felt betrayed by Dems, and it so did little tech. Yen might be hoping for antitrust action. Vance spoke well of Line Khan’s FTC, but she’s gone with along Yen’s chances for antitrust action. Every apolitical tech company is political now.
