What this episode covers
Phillip and Brian react to Albania’s pixelated AI minister Diella taking over public procurement, then ask the real question: if a bot signs the checks, who writes its prompts. They push for oversight, warn how blind efficiency squeezes human flourishing, and trace the slide from “optimization” to 996 work culture.
