Just published a new episode: " AI, Addiction, and the Internet We Actually Want" Heather Larson and Derek Ross are back, and this week they go deep on some genuinely big questions: Can AI replace you? Is social media actually addictive? And what does Jack Dorsey think is coming next for how companies work? These two have been friends long enough to roast each other in public, which means the heavy topics get tackled and the conversation still ends up somewhere involving sperm-shaped app logos and a welfare check from Heather's family.

Just published a new episode: "How Can AI Help" Is Derek Ross too attached to his bot? Heather Larson thinks so, and she shows up to this episode ready to stage an intervention. What starts as a playful confrontation about Derek talking to his AI more than he talks to people turns into a surprisingly honest conversation about AI addiction, the workaholic trap, and whether any of this technology is actually making life better or just busier.
