No one changes the world alone. AI models are rapidly learning to reason better, code faster, and take actions in the world with increasing autonomy. But for humans, progress happens when we understand one another, build trust, make connections, and work together. That is where we believe the next chapter of AI should begin.

That’s the opening paragraph from the Humans& home page.

OK, I agree, and I’m intrigued and optimistic about that statement (and the two paragraphs that follow). 

But also, who gets to make the decisions? Who decides what “we need” or what “AI should do and shouldn’t do?”

Well, they do, of course. The smart people. 

They might be making something perfect and amazing. But I’m also always a little wary when the smart people tell us “how it should be.” 

Sometimes the best approach is to just make the tool and let us, the (regular) humans, figure out how best to use it. Yeah, that’s messy. Yeah, it could be fraught. Yeah, bad stuff might happen. Yeah, it might not work. Yeah, we might have to fix some stuff later.

Oh, and they’re hiring. Their pitch for candidates starts with, “If you’ve done world-class work…”

It’s worth following this. It’s worth seeing where it goes. It’s worth discussing. 

It’s worth your voice.
