#077 - The Machine Cannot Be Bored (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Let's talk about the last empty minute of your day — and who is moving into it. The kettle. That is where it starts. Ninety seconds between the click and the boil, and for most of human history those ninety seconds were yours. You stood there. You stared at the wall. You thought the thought you did not know you were thinking. Now the kettle is still boiling, and the phone is already in your hand. Not because you wanted it there. Because the thumb… This episode of WE ARE STILL HUMAN examines the
#076 - The Right to Talk to a Human (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Let's talk about the last time you had to fight a machine to reach a person. Picture this. Tuesday. You're buying something ordinary — groceries, fuel, a ticket. The card declines. You try again. Declines. You check the app. "Suspicious activity detected." So you call the number on the back of the card. A voice answers. Not a person. A machine that says it's here to help. It asks for your ID number, your account number, your date of birth. Then it tells you the… This episode of WE ARE STILL HUMA

The question you're too ashamed to ask out loud. The version of yourself you barely admit to in your own head. The bot answers gently. This episode of WE ARE STILL HUMAN examines the huma
#074 - The Machine Acts. The Human Answers. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Let's talk about the mistake that had no owner — and the person who paid for it anyway. There is this moment every small business owner knows. The one where you look at the damage and you don't even need to ask who did it, because the answer is going to make you want to throw something. Picture a woman in Pretoria who runs a maintenance company. Fifteen staff, thirty clients, one tired owner. She sets up an AI agent to handle supplier inquiries and… This episode of WE ARE STILL HUMAN examines th
#073 - When Help Becomes a Leash (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Let's talk about the difference between help and a leash. Because those two things look almost identical from the front. Both arrive with good intentions. Both make today easier. The leash is just help that never lets go. There is this moment in every childhood — tying shoelaces. Picture a parent in the morning rush. The child is five, sitting on the step, laces everywhere. The fastest way to get out the door is to do it for them. Five seconds, double knot, done. And… This episode of WE ARE STIL
