And then this is such a cleaner interface.

I mean, as a technology designer, you're taught the number one thing you're trying to do is reduce friction.

And I think that that felt like a good goal.

But then that obviously got weaponized by this hyper-engagement model of social media.

And now it's created the entire world that we're living in.

And just so you know, in 2013, I saw everything that we predicted.

Everything that we predicted.

It all happened.

All of it.

I'm more addicted, distracted, sexualized, FOMO.

Fucked up society because of those incentives.

And I just want people to get that because as we talk about AI, it's like I want people to have the confidence to say, I don't want the default anti-human future.

Because if you say, I'm against some of the things that are going to happen with AI, people say, oh, you're being anti-progress.

Oh, you're being anti-technology.

Oh, you're just a Luddite.

You're trying to like pretend that technology is not progress.

And it's like what you should have confidence in is if you understand the incentives or the agenda.

You can understand where the world is going and you can see.

And if we don't want that anti-human future and we all see it clearly, we can put our hand in the steering wheel and steer.

And that's why, not to like do some promotion, but there's a film that I'm here in South by Southwest this week in Austin, Texas to be at the premiere.
