This piece from Mike Schindler is a good reminder that a lot of the content we see on LinkedIn is written for engagement. It's a double-edged sword, isn't it? We want our posts to be read, commented upon, and shared. We see the patterns that get a lot of reactions and we mimic them.
We’re losing ourselves to our worst instincts. Not because we’re doomed, but because we’re treating this moment like a game of hot takes and hustle. But right now is actually a rare and real opportunity for a smarter, more generous conversation — one that helps our design community navigate uncertainty with clarity, creativity, and a sense of shared agency.
But the point that Schindler is making is this: AI is a fundamental shift in the technology landscape that demands nuanced and thoughtful discourse. There's a lot of hype. But as technologists, designers, and makers of products, we really need to lead rather than scare.
I've tried to do that in my writing (though I may not always be successful). I hope you do too.
He has this handy table too…
