A few months ago, Dan Blumberg — host of Future Around and Find Out, Webby winner for Best Technology Podcast — brought me in and let me get spicy. The question we kept circling: who actually gets to decide what this technology does to us, for us and with us?
We get into why faster is not the same as better, the shell game that is AI financing, and the day I realized I was treating a prediction machine like it had thoughts and a soul. We talk about Blair, our AI co-producer on Life With Machines, and what Blair taught me about the difference between processing and thinking. We get into why strong men are actually weak little boys, why community organizing for CEOs might be the most useful job nobody's taken yet, and why comedy can help — but it won't save us. That's up to all of us.
