Is AI addiction real?

Why people can't seem to be able to log off.

This week we’re getting into our complicated relationship with AI: the good, the bad, and the weirdly hollow.

We dig into why “you can build anything now” turns out to be a bit of a trap. The endless dopamine loop and the realisation that frictionless isn’t the same as satisfying.

Along the way we cover:

  • Why coding being “solved” only removed one barrier to entry (there were always a million others)

  • Steve Jobs’ annoying quote that we can’t stop thinking about.

  • Why AI raised the floor, not the ceiling

  • The reason everyone’s going to get sick of LinkedIn

  • Jacob’s renaissance with email and the joy of taking things slowly

Enjoy!
