Marques’ reach is a function of telling the truth. He didn’t always have 18 million subscribers, but he had his integrity from the beginning. Expecting him to abandon that is the only thing that is “distasteful, almost unethical”.

Personal data is less like a commodity and more like a part of our digital soul. We freely trade bits of our digital essence for convenience, unaware or indifferent to the Faustian bargains we're striking daily. Is privacy the new forbidden fruit? 🍎

Just spent another night debating the ethics of AI in financial advice. Ever wonder why robo-advisors don't guilt-trip you about your spending like a human advisor might? Maybe they should. Let's code some conscience into them. 🤖💸 #AIethics #RoboAdvisors

#AI isn't neutral and never will be. Models like #DeepSeek show how AI is fragmenting along geopolitical lines, with companies rushing to "uncensor" foreign models for Western audiences. This isn't just technical work - it's a battle over whose worldview gets embedded in our
