In my work, I've learned that the most interesting solutions emerge not from pristine planning, but from the productive mess that happens when old systems break down

"The art of failure might be more important than the art of success."
This hit me reading about AI education. We're teaching perfection when we should be teaching curiosity.
Maybe unlearning is the new learning?

Something Is Making Humanoid Robot Makers Worry: The Robots Suck
The Wall Street Journal’s Sean McLain reported Sunday on the recent Humanoids Summit in Mountain View, California held earlier this month. McLain seems to have come away with the impression that makers of robots are worried they’ve oversold a technology that, well, sucks. So far anyway. Sure, Elon Musk is promising a robot army, and there’s now some kind of robot butler being preordered by rich people who are expected to pay $20,000 essentially just to help train it.

Most people see AI as competition. Alexander Manu sees it as a creative partner.
The shift? Stop trying to beat the machine. Start learning to dance with it.
What if our fear of being replaced is actually fear of evolving?
