Brett Goldstein | Is AI Shrinking Humanity? Design, Death, and Digital Companionship

What happens when technology moves faster than our ability to understand it?In this episode, I sat down with Brett Goldstein, founder of Micro, for one of the most thought-provoking conversations we’ve had, touching on the future of robotics, the shrinking definition of humanity, and why design still clings to the past. We talk about Philosophy of who and what we build for.We also talk about: — Paradigm shifts in how we live, build, and think — Whether we should be capable of automating death — Why AI companionship might not be as far off as we think — Sprezzatura and the art of effortless mastery — Why email is actually your most powerful CRM — And the brutal truth: you can’t build with people you don’t respectFollow Us On IG: https://www.instagram.com/failinguppp/?hl=enListen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3KMsmkqvycGgoXZDjoM6Py?si=6e40e75d54374c08Listen On Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/failing-up/id1771458449Timestamps:0:00 - Welcome Brett Goldstein To Failing Up!1:00 - Paradigm Shifts that we are experiencing right now3:00 Skeuomorphism in design6:00 The way we define being human gets smaller as technology advances11:00 What the world looks like in 20 years with robotics and AI14:00 Should we be capable of automating death?20:00 Are we ready to accept robots and AI as companionship?21:30 - Sprezzaturra - the art of not caring (further from necessity)32:30 - Email is in fact our biggest CRM and we don’t appreciate it39:30 - You can’t be in a relationship with someone you don’t love = you can’t be in business with someone you don’t respect50:00 - Thanks Brett For Joining!
