Rage Against the Machine

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Have you seen the TikTok videos of graduation classes booing the moment a commencement speaker says the word AI? In this episode I go looking for why, spending a season surveying young people from elementary school through university about how they actually feel about the machines already running their lives: the jobs they think are disappearing, the creativity they're afraid to hand over, the two fears quietly deciding what they will and won't let AI touch, and a driveway conversation with my elderly neighbour that says more about control and automation than any AI conference panel could. Press play and see which of these patterns is already running quietly in your world.
