This week, Hard Fork examined the practical limits of digital governance, exploring whether social media bans actually change behavior while also diving into deeper questions about artificial intelligence and consciousness. The episode touched on the tension between our impulse to regulate technology and the messy reality of enforcement, moving from platform moderation to the more philosophical question of what we're actually trying to control when we build these systems.
