About this episode
The episode discusses the emotional impact of AI and the conflict of using technology that one recognizes as harmful.
Adam wrote a blog post this week about why AI keeps making him feel worse. This week is an honest conversation about the hypocrite's bind: needing to use the thing you recognize the harm of, and what that does to you.
