The amount/depth entertainment/value/meaning we get from media does not scale linearly with the computation or energy needed to create it.

You can spend a lifetime chasing the dragon—fame, profits, scientific breakthroughs, whatever—but you will still die soon enough. As Jung put it, "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are". The time is now. or as Kōdō Sawaki (1880 - 1965) put it "You’re worried about death? Don’t worry – you’ll die for sure."

In the AI/UX/HCI field, it's inherently assumed that increasing computer usage is always beneficial. Few have the courage to challenge this status quo & explore how smarter machines could help us use computers less, freeing up more time for people & nature.

it's all about ideas
They used to yell at inventors and product designers, "Ideas don't matter, it's all about execution!". And engineers and company ops/finance folks would nod in agreement.
Now, with AI Increasingly handling software engineering and third-party service's managing operations, the claim might be: "When execution is handled by AI, it's all about ideas."

A crucial yet often overlooked aspect in software UX/HCI experience design is "Presence" (P): the depth and duration of user immersion, flow and present-moment awareness while using the software. Game designers have optimized for P for ages—why not other software fields?

The iminant future of HCI/AI will be heavily defined by bidirectional Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI), Brain-to-Brain Interfaces (BBI) and ubiquitous sensors, all hooked up to the Internet of Bio-Nano-Things (IoBNT) that guides pervasive and unobtrusive ambient intelligence.

Among the many remarkable properties of Life ("intelligence" as reductionists call it) these stand out:
- Self-reproduction
- Open-ended evolution
- Extreme energy efficiency
- Embodiment in the complex ecological web of life.
AI has basically none of these properties.
