Permission to Approach AI as Something Deeply Human - with Dr. Tim Rayner

What if AI isn't a tool you use, but a medium you swim in — and what it reflects back is the imprint you leave on the world?

This week, Crystal sits down with Dr. Tim Rayner (AI philosopher and founder of Superesque) to unpack cognitive archaeology: Tim's practice for excavating the tacit expertise you've already accumulated and don't know you know.

It's the moment Crystal realised she'd been training AI agents the same way she'd onboard a new employee: tell them what the company stands for, walk them through the values, give them golden examples, and tell them what to do when they reach the edge of the instructions.

The most quotable, deeply human conversation about AI we've had on the show. "You've given me (and others) permission to approach AI as something deeply human, and not something to be afraid of."
