The AI Train Isn't Stopping

About this episode
This episode discusses the inevitability of AI technology and the misconceptions surrounding anti-AI sentiment.
Anti-AI sentiment is growing, but the direction of the technology isn't up for a vote. In this episode, I argue that the push to slow or stop AI misunderstands how technological change actually works — and why resistance often comes from fear rather than strategy. This is a conversation about inevitability, adaptation, and what happens when people mistake moral discomfort for control. E-mail: cruelphilosophr@gmail.com
