Behind the Curtain: Why You Should Be AI-Obsessed

Everyone keeps asking: Why are we so fixated on AI?

Here’s the blunt truth—this is our electricity moment. Our internet moment. Except it’s happening faster, touching everything, and reshaping life, culture, and business at warp speed. You can ignore it, but you’ll get left behind.

The Reality Check

Yes, the hype is loud. Every AI company and investor has a vested interest in selling the dream. But ask yourself: Do you really think the CEOs of the seven biggest companies in America are delusional while they pour trillions into this?

Not a chance.

Even if the AI curve slows or stalls, the disruption already underway dwarfs what government or most companies are prepared for.

Why You Need to Obsess

Follow the Money. Meta, Alphabet, Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla—plus the biggest private equity and venture firms—are all in, funneling unfathomable capital and talent into AI. That’s your market signal.

Government is All In. The AI industry and government are fusing. Massive incentives, massive contracts. (Example: Palantir just signed a $10B deal with the U.S. Army.) That’s not noise—it’s a new norm.

It Hits Everything. Unlike past tech shifts that crept in slowly, AI is moving in months, not decades. Every product, every service, every process is in the blast radius.

Jobs Are on the Line. CEOs are having closed-door conversations about roles that won’t exist 18 months from now. Some new jobs will emerge—but today, the focus is ruthless: automation and savings. If you’re not AI-savvy, you’re already behind.

You Speak AI. This isn’t locked in labs or code anymore. Anyone can use it, instantly, in plain language. That accessibility is what makes it world-changing. The internet was addictive—AI will be intimate, knowing your history, your patterns, your business, even your health.

What’s Already Changing

The top use case for AI right now? Therapy and companionship. People are turning to LLMs for comfort.

A new workforce is coming: AI-native college grads. They think, learn, and operate differently. They’re not waiting for the future—they’re already in it.

Bottom Line

The White House, top CEOs, leading investors—those with power, money, and access—all share the same obsession. They see what’s coming.

So let me be clear: if you’re not paying attention, you’re not just missing a trend—you’re missing the greatest transformation of our lifetime.

Now is the time to lean in, learn fast, and get ahead.
