TIETOJA TÄSTÄ JAKSOSTA
Are we on the verge of liberation from our screens, or about to get lost forever in the digital domain? In this thought-provoking conversation, serial entrepreneur and architect Mikhail (Misha) Krymov explores the fascinating tension between humanity and the technology we've created.
Misha brings a unique perspective shaped by his PhD research on utopian architecture, his MIT fellowship, and his experience building companies like Morpheus XR (used by Google and Adobe) and Sleepbox (modular micro-hotels featured in Forbes and NYT). He argues that we're essentially giving birth to a new species, and like any parent, we must learn to let our creation become its own being.
The conversation ventures into unexpected territory: Why have we lost our collective vision of utopia? What makes humans truly different from machines? And why does Misha believe "magic" is the one thing we must reclaim in our relationship with AI?
Whether you're excited or anxious about the future, Misha offers a grounded yet imaginative framework for thinking about human-machine symbiosis, one that might just change how you see the screens you're staring at right now.
