Everything is AI all the time right now. It’s driving our cars, replacing our jobs, speeding up and empowering what we can do, keeping our economy afloat, and, yeah, maybe representing a threat to humanity. Good times.
And yet, any business that isn’t AI-centric is a dinosaur. Funders want to see those two letters, or it’s not a real business.
I’m here for some counter-programming. Yes, we use some AI in our software because, duh, it’s fast and cheap. But the mission isn’t to replace the human. The machines should be here to make human life better.
Our core mission is understanding, measuring, harnessing, and ultimately supporting the connections between people.
Social Value is about the social. It looks at real, biological people and their relationships with each other. It’s the most profoundly human thing I can think of in a time when everyone is focused on machines.
Love, connection, friendship–these things are evergreen and are what truly matter.
