Dating on Delivery, Musk’s Strongarm Strategy, and OpenAI’s Warning to Society with Jag Sharma, Matt Webster and Jason Kapadia - E110
AI isn’t just creeping into our workflows anymore – it’s crashing date night, rewiring Wall Street, and trying to rewrite the social contract.
We’ve turned life into a co-op work simulator, Elon’s turned IPO into incentivisation, and OpenAI are warning us about the very world they’ve perpetuated.
Where do we exist in a future fraught with uncertainty at every turn? Matt, Jason and Jag have the answers on this week’s Disconnected…
This episode of Disconnected covers:
The blurred boundaries between work and life
Power and leverage in the AI economy
Freedom vs transactional living
