I've been a fan of Jesse Richardson's work like his School of Thought non profit which distributes free critical thinking resources that are published under Creative Commons Licenses. Personal favorite: "yourlogicalfallacyis"

I have a lot of friends and family who are paralyzed by fear of AI and could (possibly) benefit from this

The biggest risk (to me) in all of these is the missing discussion of ai companions and what that will do to our society and personal relationships.

What happens when the frictionless relationship Ai in our pocket offers becomes more appealing to the messiness of real life relationships that require give and take.

For me, the biggest risk to personal relationships is owning dogs for the first time. AI might have confirmation bias and glazing galore (prompting skill issue, tbh), but pets are giving humans an even bigger run for their money. That being said, as a neurodivergent person I can appreciate just how much impact AI companions will have on younger generations who grow up with them around.

Even back in the early 1980's with klunky keyboard and computer, was enough more appealing than the messiness of real life relationships. Only had Eliza though.
