THIS: "AI could help us expand our capacity to experience the full spectrum of human emotion, rather than numbing out difficult emotions"

most of technology's role to date has been fueling the latter – excited to kick off this letter series with you :)

I agree fully that all three of these directions are worthy of exploration for AI to support human connection. That being said, I want to share that I find the way you’re using the term mindfulness here a bit problematic. Mindfulness depends on a conscious awareness that LLMs do not share with us. I do think AI could be more context aware and ambient, and I also think it can help *us* be more mindful, but I think we lose something important if we dilute the term in this way. Especially given that mindfulness is becoming more important than ever in our connected society!
