Wink's comment on AI helps shift the conversation from woke identity to human identity is spot on. Now, what do we make of that when Mike talks about FBT leaning into AI? My sense is that since FBT is heterodox the AI influence is more simpatico than say other platforms that are founded on narrow woke identity (race, gender). Those platforms may use AI but miss the way Mike expressed "ma" -- that space that allows us to see and experience the individual. Maybe I am overselling how AI gets incorporated into heterodox vs woke platforms. Your thoughts?

At FBT we understand that there are academic level details that never see the light of mainstream media day. And there is a depth to which search engines don't search - and all of that is predicated on the populist monetizing algorithm that makes cat videos and George Floyd go viral. So we are using AI to surface very specific content that Google doesn't and will not surface. This is curated content indexed and organized by AI against original material in the best way. https://freeblackthought.substack.com/p/launching-fbt-voices-microsites

I don't use Claude much, but Grok is less woke (or can at least be prompted or argued into being less woke) than ChatGPT, and is far less woke than Gemini and Perplexity.
