I'm the host of Big Technology podcast, a longtime reporter and an on-air contributor to CNBC. And if you're like me, you're trying to figure out how artificial intelligence is changing the business world and our lives. So each week on Big Technology, I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech and outsiders trying to influence it, asking where this is all going. They come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, and plenty more. So if you want to be smart with your wallet, your career choices, and meetings with your colleagues,

How can you lie so still? All day I watch and never a blade of all the green sod moves to show where restlessly you toss and turn and fling a desperate arm or drop knees defending aching from their long disuse. I watch all night and not one ghost comes forth to take its freedom of the midnight hour. Oh, have you no rebellion in your bones?

2:01The very worms must scorn you where you lie, a pallid, moldering, acquiescent folk, meek inhabitants of unrecented graves. Why are you there in your straight row on row where I must ever see you from my bed that in your mere dumb presence iterate the text so weary in my ears. Lie still and rest. Be patient and lie still and rest. I'll not be patient. I will not lie still. There is a brown road runs between the pines

3:01and further on the purple woodlands lie and still beyond blue mountains lift and loom and I would walk the road and I would be deep in the wooded shade and I would reach the windy mountain tops that touch the clouds. My eyes may follow but my feet are held. Recomment as you others must I to submit be mimic of your movelessness with pillow and counter pain for stone and sod and if the many sayings of the wise teach of submission I will not submit. But with a spirit all unreconsiled flash an unquenched defiance to the stars.

4:01Better it is to walk, to run, to dance. Better it is to laugh and leap and sing to know the open skies of dawn and night. To move untrammeled down the flaming noon and I will clamor it through weary days keeping the edge of deprivation sharp. Nor with the client speaking on my lips of resignation sister to defeat. I'll not be patient. I will not lie still. And in ironic quietude. Who is the despot of our days and Lord of dust needs but scarce heating. Wait to drop grim casual comment on rebellions end. Yes, yes, willful and petulant.

5:06But now is dead and quiet as the other are. And this each body and ghost of you have heard that in your graves do therefore lie so still. End of to the dead and the graveyard under my window.
