Notion Co-founder on Bringing Humanity Back to Tech Through Art

so heartwarming to see the response to this wonderful art project. several people reached out with ideas for events we can run and even offered to volunteer their own time. it got me thinking, what clicked here?

then a friend texted: “at a time when the world feels nervous about cyber weapons taking over, this feels like a brief return to normalcy, when people and companies named things in the real world because we believed humanity would still be around in a few years.”

such a good point. we need more things that bring optimism and humanity back into the world. we’ll keep doing our small part at Notion. sfstandard.com/2026/04/09/the…Show More
