About this episode
The episode explores how ambient computing influences our choices and the implications for personal agency in an automated world.
Your devices don’t just respond—they anticipate. Smart tech now nudges, predicts, and guides daily life. But when automation shapes habits and choices, are we still free? Dom Bettinelli and Thomas Sanjurjo examine agency, consent, virtue, and reclaiming silence in an always-on world.
