From an economic standpoint, AI may bring a massive shift in the way we perceive the value of things.(1)
Value is based on work (most of the time), on various factors that add up and create a price for users/consumers.
What if these costs get close to nothing, as AI allows mass production with ultra-efficiency?
Well, maybe we will be able to create something new…
Maybe.
Until this happens, individually, we should try to make a small difference. This is not a guru-style phrase or an injunction to be good it’s just a personal belief. 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+

Having worked on events where companies were spending over 400k in less than 5 hours, or conferences charging a lot and not giving a dime to the volunteers, I always wonder: what if, at its core, an event could do a bit more than just gathering?
What if it could help others?
I’ve been told that this doesn’t work, that it’s a waste of time. I don’t care—someone needs to do things that don’t only generate profit or are highly optimized for “growth.”
And no, it is not greenwashing or an evasion scam; it’s a genuine decision of someone who knows what it feels like to have family in a war zone and will always be grateful to have met people kind enough to dedicate their lives to others.
All this to say:
