Don’t Age Out of Tech: AI, Climate, and Sustainable Capitalism with Nimay Ndolo

If AI is the new “internet in 1995,” are we ready for what’s coming next?This conversation began in the middle of the noise and bright lights of NAB New York, but it didn’t feel loud. It felt human. Shira and Nimay sat down together, not to debate AI or perform expertise, but to talk about what happens to us when technology moves faster than our sense of self. Nimay brings the lens of a creator who has lived inside both the tech world and the cultural world, and she is someone who understands how identity shifts when the tools around us change.Nimay shares her journey from front-end developer to cultural voice and changemaker, and why she believes the rise of AI mirrors the same generational divide many of us watched unfold during the early internet era.This conversation moves past hype and fear-mongering to ask deeper, human-level questions:What skills do we risk aging out of if we don’t adapt?How do we protect our creative integrity while using AI as a tool?What happens when tech companies scale faster than regulation?And how do we build AI systems that don’t destroy the planet in the process?Nimay offers thoughtful, grounded insight on:Sustainable capitalismHow growth can exist without extraction, centering systems that support communities instead of draining them.Environmental impact of AIAI is not weightless. It consumes water and energy. She brings attention to the physical cost of digital progress, and why that matters now.Balancing automation and creativityUsing AI as a tool to remove the repetitive parts of work while keeping the soul, perspective, and artistic voice human.Mental health in the creator economyNaming the pressure to stay visible, relevant, always producing. Exploring how AI can soften the workload without erasing identity.What meaningful AI regulation could look likePolicy that is informed by culture, transparency, and accountability. A future shaped with intention instead of reaction.Whether you're a creator, founder, or simply trying to make sense of the current shift, this is a conversation worth sitting with.WHAT WE COVER00:00 — Being Against AI Feels Like Being Against the Internet in 199500:16  — Live from NAB New York – Welcome and Setup00:49 —  Meet Nimay Ndolo – Creator, Activist, Technologist02:00 —  Why AI Feels Like the Next Internet Revolution03:17  —  Fears of Aging Out and Learning to Adapt04:05 —  Balancing Optimism, Regulation, and Trust in Tech06:38 —  Generational Gaps and Resistance to AI08:02 — The Need for Younger Leadership and Policy Reform09:42 — Sustainable Capitalism, DAOs, and the Future of Work12:44 — City Aesthetica – Linking AI, Architecture, and Environment14:44 — Adapting to AI While Protecting the Planet15:02 — Inclusion, Representation, and Equity in the AI Era16:13 — Can AI Help or Hurt Mental Health?18:19 — How Creators Use AI Without Losing Their Voice21:32 —  Final Reflections and Closing ThanksWHY THIS MATTERSWe are living through a technological shift that will define how culture moves, how art is made, how we work, and how we see ourselves.The goal isn’t to resist the shift…it’s to shape it consciously.CONNECT WITH NIMAYCity Aesthetica (Nonprofit): IG @cityaestheticaIG / TikTok / X: @NimayNdolohttps://www.feminists.co/discover/nimayndolo  WikiCONNECT WITH SHIRA → Shira’s Newsletter on Beehiiv  https://shiras-newsletter.beehiiv.com IG / TikTok / X: @ShiraLazarThe AI Download on YouTube + All Platforms x.com/shiralazar instagram.com/shiralazar tiktok.com/@shiralazar linkedin.com/in/shiralazar youtube.com/shiralazar🎬Visit mussomedia.com for storytelling that connects.SPONSORS : 👉 HiveLighter – Your AI reading assistant for smart, personalized summaries.
