Just re-read "The Power of Myth" by Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers. Campbell understood something we should really be thinking about as AI reshapes our society:
A powerful story does not become a living mythology because millions of people hear it.
It becomes powerful when people begin living by it.
Now lets consider AI.
For the first time, we have systems participating in the creation, distribution, personalization, and reinforcement of stories at an enormous scale.
AI will help shape how people think about intelligence, work, creativity, expertise, success, heck even what it means to be human.
The real question is deeper than what AI will tell us.
What ideas will we begin organizing our lives around because AI keeps reinforcing them?
People FIRST // AI Second (PFAIS) starts there.
Human beings need to remain conscious participants in deciding which ideas deserve authority in their lives.
The next mythology of work is already forming.
We should pay attention to who is writing it.

During Harvard's Class Day 2026, featured speaker and comedian Ronny Chieng delivered a keynote speech at Tercentenary Theatre urging graduates to reject over-reliance on artificial intelligence.
Altho' I disagree with his sentiment on "death to AI", Chieng astutely frames the future as a battle between people with real substance and those with shallow knowledge who rely on faking it through what he calls shortcuts.
Ronny Xin Yi Chieng is a senior correspondent and rotating host on Comedy Centrals The Daily Show, and he created and starred in the sitcom Ronny Chieng: International Student.

AI will expose the human system behind every business.
People FIRST // AI Second gives leaders the doctrine, language, and operating model to strengthen that system before AI scales what is broken.

Truth is the ease of entry often masks a lack of Entity Clarity.
If a pilot isn't aligned with the core identity and mission of the business, it remains a disconnected experiment that doesn't contribute to the organization's long-term authority or value.
AI pilots are easy.
AI operating discipline is harder.
A Fractional CAIO helps turn scattered experiments into governed, measurable business capability.
That is where AI starts becoming useful at the company level.

1️⃣The truth about OpenAI’s Atlas browser? Both sides are half right.
It’s not “Google with a chatbot.”
It’s not the end of search, either.
Atlas is what comes after search — a browser built for AI agents, not clicks.

ALT Close-up screenshot showing the official ChatGPT Atlas application interface with its blue gradient background and white text reading “ChatGPT Atlas.” The image symbolizes the launch of OpenAI’s new AI-powered web browser, which merges conversational intelligence with live web interaction. From an Emergent Digital Authority (EDA) Importynt AI / Wayne Clayton perspective, ChatGPT Atlas represents the shift from traditional search engines to action-based AI agents capable of understanding entities, schema, and brand authority. The Atlas browser marks a pivotal transition toward agentic search ecosystems, where visibility depends on semantic clarity, trust signals, and entity optimization rather than keyword ranking.

6️⃣ Atlas is a Trojan Horse , sent not to kill search, but to sneak AI agency into everyday browsing.
That’s the shift: search → execution.

7️⃣ Bottom line: SEO no longer ends with clicks.
It ends with decisions.
You’re not just being found.
You’re being chosen.

Remember when publishing used to require a gatekeeper?
Then this thing called Kindle democratized the process so that anyone could publish. But then that created a new challenge: discovery.
How do you cut through the noise when SO many new books were published yearly? How do you get someone to actually open your book?
My associate @zacengler (Zac Engler) found an answer: he is using AI to spark readers curiosity and drive his own distribution for his new book "Turning On Machines."
Think about it, even a year ago, this kind of creative marketing was out of reach for most independent writers. But Zac has demonstrated what's now possible when you combine creativity with some of the latest AI tools.
Congrats, Zac
