Ep. 434 Aaron Cline Hanbury - When Machines Can Do More, What Does it Mean to be Alive?

In this episode with Aaron Cline Hanbury, we think through how we relate to technology and the things we make. We tackle the question underneath the whole AI moment: not just what it means to be human when machines can do more and more, but what it means to be alive. We get into whether any technology is really neutral, where our attention is going and who's buying it, raising kids in a screen-saturated world, and what it takes to stay awake to wonder.Aaron Cline Hanbury is a writer and editor whose essays and profiles have appeared in various publications, including The Atlantic.
