Baratunde demystifies A.I. and makes it personal with a wide range of guests: entrepreneurs, artists, policymakers, technologists, business leaders, creators, educators, and scientists. Maybe even an A.I. or two. Everyone should have a say in where technologies like A.I. take us, not just a handful of people in California who think nitro cold brew on tap should be a human right. Join us in candid conversations and fun experiments, as we imagine and co-create our life, with machines.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-12T04:19:49.600155+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-with-machines-7014298"},"episode":{"title":"Whose Future Are We Building?

The panel challenges the seductive lie that technology equals progress, arguing that optimization and efficiency come at the cost of actual living. They discuss how AI consolidates power, erodes shared truth, and celebrates lonely achievement while fueling a loneliness epidemic. ------------ CONNECT WITH US Subscribe to our Youtube!
