AI detection is the wrong fight. It’s a virtue signal in the midst of a war for the fundamentals of how to build an economy. A rainbow logo you roll out every June 1. And, it doesn’t work. The internet loves a virtue signal, obsesses over moral victories, but its true passion is a witch hunt.
Culture
What is required is a subset of leaders who still believe that there is a world to make and our actions are multiplicative in making that world. That the job of a leader is to decide in the face of uncertainty.
