This week, Cognitive Revolution explored two contrasting approaches to managing AI's accelerating pace: Granola's Sam Stephenson discussed building calm, human-centered design into AI tools, while 80,000 Hours' Ajeya Cotra examined how AI itself might accelerate safety research to keep up with capability development. Together, the episodes probe a central tension—whether we can slow down thoughtfully or whether we must speed up our defenses to match the technology's momentum.
