Now, don't get me wrong.

I'm not actually anti-AI.

It is very powerful and very practical.

Sometimes you just need an answer.

You can go to an AI search and ask, what's the best way to cook rice, and get an answer.

You can go to Reddit and get 100 answers, but sometimes you just need one, and that's fine.

But the more automated and summarized and sanitized and manicured that the rest of the internet becomes, the more we need places for people to be people, for people to be humans.

We need places, you know, fewer stages and more cities.

Places where you can, instead of performing, you can participate.

Where the incentive isn't to go viral, the incentive is to be helpful.

So if we want to keep our humanity in the age of AI, we need to build places for people to be humans and let them do it.

Thank you.
