The new technologist manifesto

The author presents a manifesto, "The New Technologist," arguing that technology should be a force for collective progress rather than only individual wealth, and that technologists should openly state what they believe technology is for. The statements call for expanding the "capability landscape" so more people can reach their potential, and they name hardware, spatial, crypto and AI as the four key areas of next-generation technology. The manifesto also argues that major efforts such as nuclear energy, Mars, and housing security need a creative director, and that technologists should consider running for government office.
