This week, This Week in Deep Questions with Cal Newport examines how we relate to technology in an era of rapid AI development. The episodes explore two sides of a similar tension: whether we should intentionally slow down our relationship with existing tools, and whether we're accurately understanding the real capabilities and risks of emerging AI systems. Together, they suggest that thoughtful skepticism about technology—both old and new—deserves more attention than either uncritical adoption or reflexive alarm.
