    I hope you can hear me applauding from here. I’ve loved “Going To A Town” for a while – a reminder we’ve been on the off ramp for some time. It was relevant when it was written and deeply moving, yet it feels more starkly true now than ever.

Deep tech entrepreneur D. Scott Phoenix spent years building AI — now, he believes we’re on the cusp of a profound merger between humans and machines.

Hear his provocative case for why we need to “eat the AI.” (Recorded at TED2026 on April 15, 2026)
