In this episode of The Developing Life Podcast- Host Heather Crank and special guest Tess Posner sit honestly with the questions almost no one in this conversation is willing to hold at once:

• What does it actually mean to build human-centered AI right now

• Why the "doomer vs. accelerationist" frame is failing us — and what the messy middle requires

• The artist backlash, the Silicon Valley euphoria, and the cognitive dissonance most of us are quietly carrying

• Why Tess is hesitant to use AI in her own songwriting, even as she advises on its future

• Music as alchemy — how songwriting metabolizes the chaos of this moment into something usable

If you've ever felt the pull to be more than one thing — or worried that you'll lose something essential as AI seeps into every part of life — this conversation is a map drawn by someone who's been walking it for years.
