What if abundant intelligence makes human ambition expand rather than human relevance disappear? NLW explores Venkatesh Rao’s “Cognitive Mercantilism,” which uses the history of capitalism to challenge assumptions about AI and our intellectual future. From the agricultural revolution to today’s AI agents, the episode examines how cheaper intelligence could unlock new desires, new work, and possibilities we haven’t yet imagined.

AI Maker Residence 4

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. This fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.

◆ Fri 13 Nov 2026 ◆ KOKO, London ◆ With Nick Sarafa
