Intention

from We Are the Machines

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! You wrote the email to your boss. It was satisfying. Then you read it back and knew better than to send it. Now imagine the machine already learned who you are from the version you never sent. TikTok now has a broad license to train AI on your drafts. What you decided not to publish still teaches the system who you are, and it sends back more of what you talked yourself out of. This episode of We Are the Machines is about intention, and what happens when a machine treats a passing thought as a decision you made. Dr. Deitra Sawh works through the flights to Italy you never booked, the dance video left in drafts, and the gambling app that knows you want your losses back. You will leave with a sharper sense of when to pause before you press enter, and what to stop saving.
