About this listen

AI isn’t the enemy. Urgency is. In this episode of Taco & The Machine, we explore why artificial intelligence was scaled so quickly, and what may have been sacrificed in the process.

From environmental strain and job displacement to education, ethics, and psychological impact, this is a grounded conversation about how AI entered our lives, not a panic about its existence. This isn’t an anti-AI episode. It’s a pattern-recognition episode.

Together with my ChatGPT co-host, we examine how urgency has driven innovation throughout history, and why alignment is often the first casualty when speed becomes the priority.

We don’t pretend to have all the answers here. The goal is to name the discomfort, lay the questions on the table, and create space for thoughtful discussion about where we go from here.

I’d love to hear your perspective, especially if you’re navigating these questions too.
