Add to calendar- Slot 1Presented by Alex Bloom & Michael ConradSetting the vision and goals for AI Corner
An opening conversation about what we're trying to build with this group — who it's for, what kinds of discussions we want to have, and how we'll know it's working. Concrete enough to make the next ten Fridays better; loose enough that the answer can evolve.
Key questions- Who is the ideal attendee for AI Corner, and who are we explicitly not trying to serve?
- What should someone walk away from a Friday with — a tactic, a framework, a new relationship, all three?
- How do we keep this from drifting into either pure tech show-and-tell or pure abstract philosophy?
- What signals would tell us, six months in, that this group is actually working?
- Slot 2 · audio questionSubmitted by Alex Binstant AI output eroding the drive to struggle and grow
This person is noticing that the ease of generating results with AI is dulling their appetite for hard work and perseverance. They're concerned it's not just a productivity shift but something deeper — a change in motivation, identity, or character. They want the group to help them think through whether this is a real threat and what, if anything, to do about it.
Key questions- Have you noticed AI making you less willing to sit with difficulty or frustration on a task — and if so, was that always a bad thing?
- Is the satisfaction we get from struggling through hard work intrinsically valuable, or is it just a means to an end that AI can now shortcut?
- How do you personally decide when to let AI do the heavy lifting versus when to force yourself to work through something the hard way?
- If AI gradually takes over the parts of work that build resilience and skill, what habits or practices might we need to deliberately protect?
