CTs Unite! Meetup #9

A summary of our Chiang Mai meetup on Sep 3, 2026

Thank you to everyone who tuned into our livestream! Join us for the next live video on the Substack app.

We gathered for our ninth meetup in Chiang Mai, Thailand (you can signup to our events on Luma here), for another deep dive into the intersection of technology, consciousness, and what it actually means to be a human navigating an AI-accelerated world. From Grok Bots to infinite AI slop, we covered a lot of ground. And as always, we left with more questions than answers (in the best way).

Chapters:

  • 00:00 - Introductions

  • 02:38 - Overview of Conscious Technologists Unite! meetups

  • 10:12 - Updates & The 1:3:5 Framework

  • 16:18 - Group Screen Time Audit

  • 21:50 - AI Evolution & Real-Time Video/Animation Generation

  • 32:05 - AI Financial Crisis Theory

  • 40:20 - Grok Bots & Agent Swarms

  • 53:35 - Building a Business with Minimal AI

  • 01:01:20 - The Infinite Stream Interface & Group Breakouts

Key Moments

  • 1:3:5 & Screen Time Audits: introduced the Conscious Stack™ framework (which uses a 1:3:5 rule) to audit weekly technology habits. This exercise triggered visceral reactions among attendees—including shock and shame—and highlights the psychological impact of “Miller’s Law,” demonstrating how modern digital overstimulation has silently shrunk the average human attention span down to managing just four things at a time now.

  • The “AI Rogue Event” Financial Crisis Theory: The group analyzed a compelling theory suggesting that public conditioning regarding rogue, uncontrollable AI is setting the stage for a major financial transition. Under this theory, a simulated AI-driven bank freeze could be used to seamlessly migrate millions of citizens into a new, tightly controlled central banking system of digital money and stablecoins without ever passing formal legislation.

  • The Rise of “Dynamic Website” Generation & Infinite “AI Slop”: we showcased a paradigm shift in user experience where websites are no longer hardcoded. Instead, platforms like “Solaris” now allow creators to feed AI a dataset and a core “constitution”. When a user visits, the system generates a totally unique layout or real-time streaming video on the fly, based on dynamic user choices.

Reminder: we’re not obsessed with whether AI is conscious or not. We are a group committed to the conscious use of technology — staying aware, intentional, and grounded as the tools around us grow more powerful. That distinction is everything. Anyone can use AI, we choose to use it consciously.
