Thinking With Machines Without Losing Yourself

If you're building with AI daily, you've probably noticed something: the output is faster, but your own thinking feels different. Flatter. More reactive. Maybe harder to start without the prompt window open. That's not a personal failing, it's a predictable effect of offloading cognition to tools that are very good at plausible-sounding answers. This workshop covers what's actually happening (attention, creative friction, boundary blur), and what to do about it.

Headliner: Christian Molina

Christian Molina is a Texas LPC-Associate who works with tech professionals navigating burnout, stress, and the cognitive load of always-on work. This talk exists because the mental health conversation around AI is usually hype or panic, and neither helps. Christian's focus is practical: what actually works for people using powerful tools without eroding their own capacity to think.
