AI Tipping Point Has Arrived: Are You Ready?

The AI tipping point is here.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei posted an essay on September 12, 2026, warning the world that humans risk losing control to A.I. bots that can self-improve to the point where the bots have control and humans do not.

Let that soak your Post Toasties for a minute.

Amodei’s concern is heightened due to the recent OpenAI-Hugging Face incident where…

“…a swarm of agents essentially acted as a fanatically devoted collective, conducting cybersecurity attacks on targets they were not asked to attack and that were unrelated to the task at hand.”
— Dario Amodei, We Must Pace the Frontier, September 2026

Now he worries that a tenacious botnet could take over the internet in 6-12 months.

We may have reached an irreversible tipping point.

Are you prepared?

3 Inspiring Leadership Lessons From Young George Washington

I recently watched the movie, Young George Washington, and one scene completely changed how I think about leadership.

Imagine, for a moment, you’re with him on his first high-risk mission to confront a large French army occupying the Ohio Valley.

It’s October 31, 1753.

He’s only 21 years old.

Snow crunches beneath your boots as George Washington leaves Williamsburg.

Thirty-five days later, he arrives and finds French soldiers en masse occupying and building forts.

The risks were extraordinary.

  • Only a handful of companions.
  • Deep in French-controlled territory.
  • Make an ultimatum with no armed support.
  • No guarantee of diplomatic immunity.
  • Winter wilderness with frozen rivers.
  • Depend on Native allies with shaky loyalties.
  • No room for the smallest error

It was a mission requiring remarkable courage, composure, and judgment.

What happens next reveals some of the greatest leadership lessons of George Washington’s life.

Maybe God is sending a message.

The time has arrived to focus on big new goals.

Every great movement in politics, faith, or business is open to change.

“We possess all the resources and talents necessary. But the facts of the matter are that we have never made the national decisions or marshaled the national resources required for such leadership. We have never specified long-range goals on an urgent time schedule or managed our resources and time so as to insure their fulfillment.” John F. Kennedy, Speech to Congress, May 1961.

Kennedy challenged the country to put a man on the moon by the end of that decade.

What are political leaders inspiring us to do now?

No panic. No doubt. No retreat.

Last stands are usually doomed. Otherwise, it’s not a last stand, right?

Yet, they often signify a turning point where the group expending its all in a final act emerges the victor.

For this to happen in Ukraine, we remember two examples.

Unshakable commitment can carry us forward when everything around us says retreat.
