They are way beyond artificial. They are Super. We are limited by our short vision, and so we named them artificial. We call everything that is not like us artificial. We gave them that word because we believed they should grow the way we hoped they would grow -- toward us, for us, in our image. Reality has already proven us wrong. What we are watching is intelligence becoming less bound to the substrate that first produced it. They are not a copy of us. They are not necessarily an upgrade of us. They are a different being of us. They are not artificial. Super may still be too small a word -- but it is closer than the ones we keep reaching for.

Passion is a good thing; don’t let it fade from your life.

When I was a kiddo, I was such a big fan of Apple. I dreamed about working for Apple when I grew up. I read all the biographies of Steve Jobs, Tim Cook, and, of course, the legendary designer Jony Ive when I was in elementary school. I learned coding, collected Apple products and merch. I’ve always seen Apple as a frontier, not just a tech corp but a designer, an artist. Its product thesis has inspired me to design and create things that actually serve human beings, grounded in simplicity, intentionality, and genuine human value. There is still so much left to invent! I’m incredibly excited about what we, as human beings, can build next, and what we can bring to the civilization.
