Tech Wants to Move Fast

A Critical Look at AI, Innovation, and the Pressure to Keep Up

Last week my Instagram feed was literally flooded with ads for "revolutionary" AI selfie generators. Monday it was an app that turns you into a Renaissance painting. Tuesday brought an AI that creates your "digital twin" for meetings. Wednesday was some tool promising to "clone your voice in 30 seconds!" My TikTok isn't any better—every day there's another creator breathlessly showcasing some new AI tool that's supposedly changing everything.

The noise is deafening. And exhausting.
