Progress

The Gym of Coevolution

Progress is rarely a straight line. It looks more like a gym session: repetition, fatigue, small victories that pile up into transformation. With artificial intelligence, the same logic applies. We do not simply “use” these systems — we train with them, and they train us in return.

In Progress Always Sends You Back to the Gym, I explored this metaphor of discipline. Every leap forward is followed by the need to rebuild our balance, to strengthen muscles we didn’t know we had. Technology doesn’t solve the effort: it demands new kinds of endurance.
