The explosion of AI solutions is shaking up experience design in ways we’re only beginning to understand. But what if the key to staying ahead isn’t about more automation or better interfaces—but about something much older?

In this special Ask Us Anything episode of Invisible Machines, Robb and Josh tackle a listener’s question about AI’s impact on UX. Their conversation takes an unexpected turn—back to Robb’s days in the sound department at Warner Bros., working on films like Galaxy Quest and The Thin Red Line. The surprising connection? Success in UX, much like in filmmaking, boils down to storytelling.

People don’t just use products—they engage with them, just like they do with stories. And as AI adoption grows, bad design won’t just be inconvenient—it’ll be obvious. Effective storytelling and good taste will become essential, separating the forgettable from the truly immersive.

So, how do we design for a world where AI is raising the bar? Tune in to this episode for a fresh perspective on the intersection of technology, design, and storytelling.

What is consciousness? This question has baffled the traditional physicalist approach to science. Part of the reason is that reductive physicalism is flawed, as it fails to effectively frame complexification, systems, processes, and the difference between objective and subjective epistemologies. This article introduces a new philosophical approach called “Extended Naturalism,” which extends both our view of the physical world and our understanding of the mental domain and enables the puzzle to be effectively framed so that we can achieve a coherent picture of the whole.

Article by Gregg Henriques
Understanding Consciousness
  • This article provides an overview of a new approach to understanding consciousness called “Extended Naturalism.” Extended naturalism shifts the basic framework for understanding matter and mind from a traditional “physicalist” perspective to a holistic naturalistic perspective.
  • This perspective alters the grammar of science, nature, mind, and knowledge and affords a new way to coherently align consciousness with the matter.
  • The article explains how Extended Naturalism is different from materialism, idealism, panpsychism, and dualism, and allows us to address both the question of what consciousness is and how it works in the natural world.
