Most of the talk about AI seems to be about 10x, 100x, 2,500 PRs a month. However, opportunities to stop and think about what all that speed is good for are rare. I want to inspire a debate about whether we are using AI as merely "an improved means to unimproved ends" (Thoreau). Can we, instead, improve our ends? What would it look like to do this systematically?
