Why we are starting Leisure Labs
A lab built on one premise: the point of intelligent machines is not what they can do, but what people become free to do.
Notes
From the lab notebook
Shorter and more provisional than our research: definitions we are settling, positions we are testing, and observations worth writing down before they harden.
Against unnecessary work
Not all work is worth saving from automation, and not all of it is worth automating. The category that matters is the work that should not exist.
Notes on connective infrastructure
The technologies that save the most human effort are rarely tools. They are the agreements that let everything else connect.
What we mean by capacity
Our central term, made precise: capacity is what a person can do without the tool, after using the tool.
Designing AI for people in groups
Human intelligence is a team sport. Five working principles for systems that make groups smarter instead of quietly dissolving them.
