The question that animates You On AI — Are you worth amplifying? — loses its motivational sheen when filtered through Glover's framework. It becomes diagnostic: a set of specific, uncomfortable, actionable questions that the motivational version was concealing. On AI translates the diagnostic into practice. Not principles — practices.
