Research, design, and math are three fields that tend to attract obsessives. Few have had a bigger impact on our imagination than legendary creator Grant Sanderson of @3blue1brown.
We were lucky to host Grant at our office last week with Cognition’s Head of Research @silasalberti and head of Design @josephhhhz for a fireside chat on the craft of making abstract ideas accessible, and how intelligence and design will evolve together.

This article argues that AI acts as a 'cognition amplifier,' shifting the bottleneck from execution to imagination and creating a feedback loop that could lead to a merger of human intention and machine intelligence. It emphasizes the critical importance of keeping these systems open and widely available rather than centralized.
