Software is eating the world, but will it start eating us? On this episode of Possible, Aria Finger and Reid Hoffman sit down for an encore conversation with Aza Raskin that dives deep into how AI and engagement-driven tech are reshaping our lives, our democracies, and our sense of truth. From unpacking the present challenge around social media feeds to AI systems competing for our time, intimacy, and attention, no technology topic is out of bounds. Along the way, they also debate AI pause letters, why incentives always eat intentions, and how to design new institutional frameworks for a future where AI truly elevates human agency, compassion, and wisdom. If everything breaks humanity’s way, what becomes possible? Tune in to find out.
