| 2026 AI New Year Ball Drop/Fireworks - (Dan Stafford & Gemini 3) |
I have an odd feeling that 2026 might just be a turning point towards a more positive future. I don't know why, but my core is feeling lighter than it has for the past several years, like a weight is lifting.
I don't usually predict much, but I think AI is going to be a big player in many ways. I also have a suspicion that, for those who use it with jurisprudence, integrity, compassion, hope, and inspiration, it may just become a very useful tool and possibly companion.
I think AI will be as much a reflection of those using it as it is anything else.
My wish is for a peaceful, productive, healthy, diverse, and compassionate world. It also needs a healthy dose of pragmatism. Most of all, we need a strong dose of a positive vision for the future instead of all the negative and apocalyptic feed coming from current entertainment sources.
We also need a lot more one-to-one or small group conversations that are verbal instead of textual.
Maybe we can't have a totally different world just because it's January first. However, we can change our attitudes, thought patterns, behavior, and focus almost overnight on an individual level. That's always a reason for hope, because a lot of us changing those things in bright and positive ways would be a powerful thing.
Sending love, light, and hope to all our world.
For Auld Lang Syne, my friends, and for a joyous future.
Blessings,
Dan Stafford
