Not what AI can do. Not what it will do to us. What it’s all for.
A podcast about the question we stopped asking — and the book it grows out of. Here’s where to listen, and everything it connects to.
Listen
A new conversation every two weeks about what we — and the machines — are for.
Every episode comes with a full transcript and a companion essay on Substack — the best place to follow the whole arc.
The book
A displaced man’s metrics rise, his will to live falls — and his AI therapist can’t tell the difference.
The novella the show’s argument grows out of: a system that does everything right, aimed at the wrong thing. The real disease isn’t the machine. It’s what we stopped giving each other.

Generated by AI
