ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What happens to the "intellectual class" when thinking becomes a commodity?
We’ve spent the last century hiring for brawn, then for brains. Now, as AI commodifies cognitive labor, the "eggheads" among us are facing a humbling reality: our ability to process, calculate, and speak is no longer our competitive advantage.
Today on Living Code, I sit down with Ben Christensen, Head of Partnerships at AI 2030 and a builder at the intersection of technology and human flourishing. We dive into the "Roaring 2020s" and what it means to be a "corporate refugee" in an era of algorithmic disruption.
We discuss:

- The AI Bloodbath: Navigating the survival anxiety that hits even the most privileged tech workers.
- Cultural STIs: The risk (and necessity) of opening yourself up to being permanently altered by the people—and machines—you interact with.

The leap from complicated to complex is where most technical leadership breaks.
In code, you can debug.
You can rewind, edit, and restart.
But in a room full of brilliant people who can’t stand each other, those rules don’t apply.
I recently sat down with Michael Porcelli, founder of Meta…
