As we enter the next phase of artificial intelligence development, we face a critical but largely unexamined tension between what scales efficiently and what gives human experience its meaning.

The Core Truth| Tushar Dadlani's Blog
We are living through a fundamental crisis in how humans create and share value with each other.

Finding a computer programmer job was the first professional problem I faced. First, I had to make a resume listing all programming languages that I knew, and projects I had worked on.
