In our annual Ask Us Anything episode, there was one question that kept coming up: The broken incentives behind social media, and now AI, have done so much damage to our society, but what is the alternative? In this week’s episode of Your Undivided Attention, Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin set out to answer this question by imagining what a world with humane technology might look like—one where we recognized the harms of social media early and embarked on a whole of society effort to fix them. This alternative history serves to show that there are narrow pathways to a better future, if we have the imagination and the courage to make them a reality. Link to the full episode in the comments.
What a wonderful podcast, everybody should listen to these important insights! Thanks for sharing with us!
thank you so much for you work, i feel it's the most important battle of the world
I really wish you'd had put an apostrophe after the 'what.' Or is it 'you'd've'...? Or is that a double 'you had'? I'd ask AI but I don't want to inform it of too much. Keep up the great work otherwise!
