My biggest concern with AI is that I'm already able to tell which of my teammates are using it and which aren't. It gives me the vibe that we're already trending towards becoming mediums for the machines.

A few weeks back I sent a support ticket to Discourse. āHawk, Co-CEOā with a flying Hawk avatar replied. I assumed it was a pseudonymous shared by their support team. Nope. Turns out it was in fact the Co-CEO. The stoke Iām feeling is a great reminder of the importance of engaging with your users.
