And if you've built your entire career around your creativity, you too may be asking: Is there a future for us? Or is it game over? I don't know what the future holds, but I do promise few are more dedicated to helping us find the answers than I am.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-16T04:17:20.700032+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-zack-arnold-podcast-1048782"},"episode":{"title":"Is it too late to de-enshittify our humanity?","slug":"is-it-too-late-to-de-enshittify-our-humanity","published_at":"2026-03-12T13:00:51+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-zack-arnold-podcast-1048782/is-it-too-late-to-de-enshittify-our-humanity","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-zack-arnold-podcast-1048782","url":"https://zackarnold.com/podcast","audio_url":"https://audio2.redcircle.com/episodes/1113a11b-a641-438e-882f-e3f81c137e35/stream.mp3","summary":"In this mini-episode, I explain why calling out the enshittification of modern technology doesn’t make me a Luddite, even if I’m a Xennial who still remembers life before wi-fi. I tease why algorithms may be quietly degrading how we connect, learn, and create, and why I’m setting clear rules and guardrails for how I use AI so the robots remain our servants, not our masters. Ultimately I ask a bigger question: is it already too late to de-enshittify our humanity? All that in more in my latest Substack → Is it too late to de-enshittify our humanity? When you're done, I'd love your thoughts here in the comments!","meta_description":"In this mini-episode, I explain why calling out the enshittification of modern technology doesn’t make me a Luddite, even if I’m a Xennial who still remem…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1186,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-zack-arnold-podcast-1048782/episodes/is-it-too-late-to-de-enshittify-our-humanity/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-zack-arnold-podcast-1048782/is-it-too-late-to-de-enshittify-our-humanity.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
