Brian Patrick’s AI Executive Insanity Series

Every morning when Brian Patrick wakes up, his first stop is his computer, where he sifts through social media platforms, news outlets, and YouTube to dig up the most outrageous public comments ever made by high-profile artificial intelligence industry leaders. And he almost never walks away empty-handed.

There is the recorded clip of Oracle founder Larry Ellison openly acknowledging the company built body cameras that continue recording users even when they are inside the bathroom. There is the viral soundbite from SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, where he pushed for the permanent fusion of human biology with artificial intelligence. Even Avi Schiffmann, CEO of Friend, gave an interview comparing his own bond with AI-powered wearable technology to the relationship humanity shares with God.

After he tracks down one of these eyebrow-raising clips, Patrick breaks down the claims behind it in a new episode of AI Executive Insanity Series, his social media project that highlights one outlandish AI industry statement every single day throughout 2026. Since launching at the start of the year, the series has already released 181 installments and counting, racked up tens of millions of views and thousands of engaged comments, and keeps growing its audience with every new upload.

The viral series is just one piece of a much broader movement spearheaded by Patrick, who is working to convene a community of like-minded people focused on securing democratic control of AI development. Through Panodime, the independent organization he founded, Patrick is building a new website and mobile app (expected to launch within the next several weeks) that serves two core goals: educating the general public about rapid, underreported developments in the AI space, and connecting concerned people to tangible opportunities for collective action.

Patrick’s core belief is that the general public deserves a meaningful say in the future of the technology: communities should have the power to stop, pause, or redirect AI development through a democratic process, rather than letting all power over this transformative technology stay concentrated in the hands of a tiny group of unelected technocrats. And one well-researched video at a time, he is putting that critical choice front and center for a growing global audience.
