Who controls the machines when AI gets superpowers?
We're living through the most significant technological shift in human history, and most people are arguing about all the wrong things. While culture warriors battle over Superman's immigration status, the real story is staring us in the face: the war for control of artificial intelligence. This isn't some distant sci-fi fantasy anymore – it's happening right now, and the stakes couldn't be higher.
The newest Superman movie accidentally became the perfect metaphor for our AI moment. You've got Lex Luthor commanding an army of machines like he's playing the world's most dangerous video game, while Superman fights back with his own AI companions. Sound familiar? That's because we're already living it. The question isn't whether humans and machines will merge – it's whether the good guys or the Lex Luthors of the world get to decide how it happens.
Listen now to discover how a comic book movie reveals the three critical choices we're making about AI right now that will determine whether technology saves humanity or enslaves it.
