Guiding Principles

It's short, I promise

My Approach To Thriving In A Technology Driven World

1. Embracing Change: The first step is to accept that change is the only constant in the world. Instead of hiding from it, embrace it, or you will be left behind and without a voice. I myself have struggled with this, wanting to run from it all, but I would then lose my voice and chance to help shape the outcome.

2. Staying Informed: Yes, it’s overwhelming, but staying informed is crucial. Follow credible news sources, engage with the community, and play with the emerging tools to keep your finger on the pulse. We must understand what technology is capable of, both good and bad.

3. Reconnecting With Yourself: Your best guide through these times is you. I know it's hard to believe but our gut feelings and intuition are key to our success. Don't believe me? I will be sharing many surreal stories of people who embraced their inner guidance and voice to achieve amazing things. We just don't listen anymore because we are never away from stimulation and other's thoughts when living in a digital world

4. Calling Out Bad Actors: Don’t be afraid to raise your voice and call out unethical practices or products. If you see or know someone benefiting from AI in unethical ways or practices that leave the planet worse, call them out! Or betting yet, send the information my way so I can write about it.

5. Ethical Considerations: Always ask yourself how your AI endeavors impact society. Strive to be on the right side of progress, even if it means missing out on a quick profit. This is something I am constantly holding close to for the sake of my family and my boys’ futures in this world.

6. Being A Good Shepard: We are all parents now, whether we like it or not. AI is learning from our interactions, our content, and our values, and now more than ever, we need to set a good example. Before you send anything out to the internet, please remember that AI will consume it and learn from it. Be kind, be loving, and be understanding.

Our Principles

  1. We will always strive to speak the truth without resorting to clickbait or polarizing posts to farm engagement. We exist to add value to the world.
  2. We also acknowledge that we will be discussing polarizing topics and will do our best to encourage good and civil debates.
  3. We will forever remain independent, even to the detriment of the website. We would be open to partnering with other independent publications that have a shared interest and values.
  4. We will never sell or share your data or abuse the trust you have placed in us by becoming a supporter.

A Word On Advertisements & Monetization

We acknowledge that we will need to find support through advertising partners in order to run this website. However, we pledge to never let the interests of partners impact the integrity of the site or any of our principles. We also pledge to never overwhelm the experience with advertisements. At this time, you will see at most 1 to 2 ads per page, and will not be intrusive. My goal is to maintain a good website experience.

However, if we reach a point where we have enough supporters to cover our hosting costs, ads will no longer be used on this site and everyone can enjoy an ad-free experience!

My goal is not to make a profit here, I just genuinely want everyone to be able to thrive and live their best life.
