Does it have a soul?

Saw this huge robot with its peepee out somewhere in Taiwan.

The cost of generating content and software has effectively hit zero. Whoever you are, at any scale. All you need is a single line prompt. Yet most of what we’re making is perfectly efficient, predictably functional, and fundamentally hollow.

We’re racing to the bottom, but we’ve been beaten there, and many have already started scraping it, too. Efficiency is now a baseline requirement. But if you’re not using it to reclaim the space for intentional, high-level decision-making, then you ought to be soon replaced by a robot yourself.

We are building infrastructure for change. “Change” is the ultimate goal, not building the infrastructure. This means that even in this time of hyperproductivity as a commodity, the important questions stay the same: Is this helping us move towards the change we want? Does it align with our principles? Does it have a soul?

But there are very few left who are still willing to ask them.
