Distance from AI — this Config split four ways
Where it came from
Two talks, in correspondence.
Some talks answer each other across the schedule — a question here, its reply a few rooms away. Read them as a pair.
By temperature — from cool reason to warm feeling.
Every talk has a temperature. Slide to reorder all 71. Cool = reason, how you decide — "Designing in the age of the 10x engineer." Warm = a hand, love, memory — "The marathon designer."
Slide toward cool and the AI talks drift to the top — the closer to AI, the cooler they ran.
Cool reasonEvenWarm feeling
Even — the middle-temperature talks first, the extremes drifting lower.
The ones that never mention the future of AI.
This was the AI conference. And still — the talks that stayed longest were the ones that set it aside. A marathon. Ten years of daily sketching. A teddy bear's face on a clinical robot. No labels here; you'll know them when you feel them.
— just craft, career, and story. Wander in.
