ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Software is solved. Are we going to be okay? Puzzle Exchange No. 14

I hosted a panel in SF with a therapist, a philosopher, and an engineer. Three takes that almost agreed, then sharply didn't.

David Khalili (therapist): VCs are buying therapy session data. The pitch to therapists is free premium software in exchange for access to every client session.

John Coyle (philosopher and engineer): "Every question of technology is a political question." Pushed back hard on the inevitability framing.

Rayyan Zahid (engineer): Spent 10 billion tokens last month. Felt more relaxed than he had in a year and a half. His agents now teach other agents.

The takeaway:

The future isn't optimistic. Jobs will go. Governments will give the bare minimum to survive. We should not treat any of this as inevitable. That refusal is what makes us human.
