The people shouting the loudest about the risks of AI on humanity are the same ones shipping new models and chasing trillion dollar valuations.
There are legitimate risks to AI, but it's not that the machines will turn on us. It's much more likely that bad actors will use AI to exploit gaps that already exist in our critical infrastructure across banking, hospitals, energy, or supply chains. The work that needs to be done involves supporting and safeguarding these systems.
More thoughts below.
The shift from machines turning on us to bad actors exploiting gaps in banking, hospitals and supply chains reframes the whole debate, Ivan. Supporting and safeguarding those systems is the concrete work nobody talks about.

I prefer shot 2 it’s darker, grimmer; I find shot 1 a bit too clean.
My AI assistant runs all day. The expensive model only does the thinking.
Most requests need no AI at all. "Call me in 30 minutes" is handled by plain code. Reminders, schedules and limits are code too.
Short tasks like sorting and scoring go to fast models on a free tier.
The big model only gets planning and long conversations, where it actually has to think.
If it hits a limit, a backup model answers instead of the app going silent.
If your AI app's bill keeps growing, check what really needs the big model.
What does your app send to the most expensive model?
Same pattern holds in outbound tooling. Filtering, dedupe and enrichment lookups are plain code. The model only writes the first line once the row is already verified. Cuts cost and the weird outputs.

As a designer, I love how AI is changing the way we work.
We’re moving from simply sending clients static designs on Figma to building clickable prototypes that bring their vision to life.
Now, a founder can actually experience how their website will look and feel before development is complete.
They can click through pages, explore interactions, and see animations in action.
And for developers? The handover becomes much smoother because they can see how everything is supposed to work, not just how it should look.
Less guesswork. Better collaboration. A clearer vision.
Honestly, it’s a win-win for everyone.
I think every designer and developer should embrace AI in 2026. Not to replace our skills, but to expand what we can create with them. 🚀
So are you still team traditional Figma design ? Or you now use Ai to advance your design work ?
Awesome work!
