3393: The Raiinmaker Model: Making Technology Work for the Many, Not the Few

Tech Talks Daily

As AI tools become increasingly embedded in the workplace, the future of work hangs in a delicate balance between automation and opportunity. In this episode, J.D. Seraphine, founder and CEO of Raiinmaker, joins Neil to challenge the dominant narrative of AI-driven job loss. Instead, he offers a bold vision—one where technology enhances human creativity, not replaces it.

J.D. shares how Raiinmaker is merging Web3 and AI to build platforms that reward human contribution, decentralize value, and give people a voice in shaping the future of artificial intelligence. We explore what it means to create ethical, human-led AI systems, how businesses can support young workers through upskilling and mentorship, and why the biggest challenge may not be employee readiness—but leadership inertia.

From entry-level displacement to data ethics, from complementary currencies to AI-generated video training, this conversation goes far beyond the hype. J.D. also speaks candidly about the real risks ahead—alongside the unprecedented potential for a new kind of economic empowerment.
