AI changes more than efficiency. It changes the boundaries between office and home, the meaning of community infrastructure, and the question of what counts as real exchange.
Four signals from that conversation
- Community will become more hybrid: living, working, and socializing will overlap more deeply.
- More people will have nontraditional time and nontraditional careers.
- Social life will increasingly involve both people and AI agents.
- The smarter AI becomes, the more people may crave real, embodied connection.
