Yeah. Agreed. This is where it gets tough, right? I've had an ongoing conversation with a coworker about AI. Somehow the conversation for my coworker seems to revolve solely around "product offerings" and "features" rather than freedom of inquiry, curiosity and those things that human do so well. Having encountered the language of "Product Development" as it relates to building software in 2011, and having seen its impact come straight outta Facebook and into my daily life, I am noticing this way of thinking and being in the world makes it hard to imagine a different future relative to computing. Still! Strikes me as strange. Accelerating to... what?
