In this episode, I break down Woodrow Hartzog and Jessica Silbey's paper "How AI Destroys Institutions" and explain why anyone who cares about knowledge, power, and culture needs to get involved in AI governance NOW.

KEY POINTS:

• How AI undermines expertise through skill atrophy
• Why AI removes humans from critical decision points
• How AI isolates us and destroys social capital
• The four institutions currently under attack
• Why this is about power vacuum, not tech billionaires
• What humanists can actually do about it
