About Whoa, Vol. 3: Humanmaxxing

How to thrive in the age of machines Most of what we hear about AI is a story of loss: slop everywhere, our thinking outsourced to machines, our livelihoods destroyed. But there’s another version of this story. Some of the most interesting people we know aren’t taking the bait on the “human vs. AI” debate. They’re doing their thing and leaning harder into themselves. We think they’re a window into a future where advances in machines will usher in an era of re-enchantment where we will become freer, stranger, more creative, more idiosyncratic, more alive.
