The Manifesto

One idea

There is only one way into the future for humanity, and it leads hand in hand with AI. Not behind it, not against it. Beside it.

Every age gets the tools it needs to think. The printing press gave Kant’s readers books. AI gives us something stranger: a partner that can explain almost anything, to anyone, at any hour. Whether that partner makes us wiser or lazier is not decided by the machine. It is decided by us.

The manifesto is about that decision.
