The Academy for Philosopher-Builders. Building AI for human flourishing. Writing at https://t.co/aef99Piwlj
Austin, TX
Joined September 2023
The AI age demands a new kind of technologist: The Philosopher-Builder.
Every builder's first duty is philosophical: to decide what they should build for. AI is beginning to decide what ideas reach your mind—your next action, your next job, your next relationship. It will tempt you to outsource your thinking in ways you’ve never been tempted before.
