Leaders of corporations, foundations, entrenched religious institutions, they hear from each other much more so than anyone else. They're all in the same echo chamber. It's the same lesson I learned about academia and industry, Stanford and Silicon Valley being the same, etc.

What I've learned in the nonprofit space is that all of these people you thought were independent from each other, hang out in the same places, Davos or a bunch of closed door meetings for the world's power brokers.

The pope doesnât increase credibility by presenting his encyclical with a billionaire AI overlord. Presenting it with data workers, with communities protecting their territories against technological exploitation might have. But this is just another normalization of AI inevitability discourse
