Silicon Valley wants AI to do everything for you. But what if the effort is the entire point?

Retro CEO @nsharp17 explains why automating certain human experiences can actually make them less meaningful:

"There are pockets where friction and manual effort are the purpose of things."

"If it were still my real photos, but I had an agent choose the 16 out of 60 photos I took last week, I think it'd be less valuable to you."

Retro CEO @nsharp17, who helped launch Instagram Stories in 2016, reveals the feature was created because people were becoming too intimidated to post on Instagram:

"In 2016, the main vision was just to create a window into your friends' lives."

"When we sat down to build Instagram Stories, first of all, we didn't start with stories. We started with some of the problems we were seeing on Instagram."
