Military AI Deals, and the Meaning Crisis in Burnout

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at ‘No ethics at all’: the ‘cancel ChatGPT’ trend is growing after OpenAI signs a deal with the US military, exploring the backlash and why users are calling for cancellation amid ethical concerns about AI use in defence. Today’s unpopular opinion was Burnout is more often caused by meaninglessness than workload — a take that sparked some strong reactions from listeners and raised questions about purpose and work-life balance. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans Name a symptom of burnout — with responses ranging from exhaustion and cynicism to trouble concentrating and sleep difficulties.
