In this mini episode, I imagine being thrown back to the “Dark Ages” of 1994 with no Internet, no Google, no AI, and I ask myself where I’d be frustrated, where I’d fumble, and where I’d be absolutely f•cked. I tease how much of my work and life I’ve cognitively offloaded for the sake of convenience, and why the real danger isn’t losing access to tools but outsourcing thinking, synthesizing, and creating to the machines. As we cross the Rubicon into the Age of AI, the question isn’t just “Am I still useful?” but whether I’m protecting the parts of the creative process that must remain human. I’ll share my rules to stay the master of my technology by defining where I collaborate with the machines versus where I refuse to outsource the work before AI enshittifies and I’m f•cked.

In this mini-episode, I explain why calling out the enshittification of modern technology doesn’t make me a Luddite, even if I’m a Xennial who still remembers life before wi-fi. I tease why algorithms may be quietly degrading how we connect, learn, and create, and why I’m setting clear rules and guardrails for how I use AI so the robots remain our servants, not our masters. Ultimately I ask a bigger question: is it already too late to de-enshittify our humanity?

In this mini episode, I vent about the moment I realized everything feels harder than it should, from parking apps to paywalls to bots talking to bots, and I dig into the enshittification of everything, everywhere, all at once. I break down how the obsession with optimization keeps degrading our tools, our platforms, and our attention, why AI productivity hype deserves serious side eye, and what it might cost us if we outsource the parts of ourselves that make us human.
