going human
Not an AI podcast — a human one that uses AI as the pressure test. Every week, Going Human is a standing space to react to AI's newest developments and drag every one of them back to a single question: does this tip humanity toward flourishing, or quietly demote our purpose and our life in community? The thumb on the scale is still ours. Four beats: the Stone (my honest take, with receipts), the Ripples (a guest refracting the same subject through their vocation and their human feelings), the Fuckery (three real headlines, sorted Fuck Yes / Fuck No / Fuck????), and the Tsunami; one small human act to do before the next episode. Your act is a drop; all of ours together is a tsunami. Your host, Moss, is three people at once: a singer-songwriter protective of everything machines can't counterfeit, a four-decade Fortune 500 technology and operations leader who builds AI products himself, and an adoptive father of two grown children. The artist who guards the human; the operator who knows exactly how the machine works; the father who fears how this thing shapes the lives of his children far more than its impact on his remaining years. Smart. Funny. Profane (AF). Hopeful. Why??? Because robots can't.

GOING HUMAN — EPISODE 5
Six Ways to Make a Cucumber Delicious
Food is medicine, fuel, and soul — so what happens when AI gets a seat at the table? Moss and lifelong cook Greg Enos on keeping food human.
The cucumber is a metaphor. It's the benign, beautiful, wildly underappreciated little vegetable most people write off — and when you finally taste its essence in something, it's pure magic. This episode is about all ...
When a machine hollows a person out, what do we even call it, and what are we standing on when we say it's wrong? An atheist and a pope walk into a bar and, for once, order the same drink: he calls the digital girlfriends and rented robot friends SIN and looks up, I call it grief and look out. Same hole in the ground, no punchline. In this episode of Going Human: This athiest struggles with meaning and relationship right alongside ...
A drowning mom in Zurich types her sleepless baby into ChatGPT and it works in five minutes. A momfluencer turns "I am drowning" into a $37 custom GPT named Coparent. So is AI a lifeline for overloaded parents, or an alibi for the adult who checked out?
Moss digs into the rise of the AI "coparent," then sits down with Emma Madrigal, who has spent seven-plus years as a nanny, the oldest answer to the question this episode asks: a rea...
We taught the systems that run our lives; hospitals, benefits, the machinery behind the curtain, to run and even heal themselves without us. Now they are making the calls, and the human judgment we quietly baked in is increasingly overruled. This cast is about the people still inside the machine: the ones who know when a confident system can be dead(ly) wrong, and posits that there are many systems that should should never stop ans...
AI wants two jobs that used to belong to other people: reading your body and caring for it. Smart mirrors now scan your face, score fifteen-plus "concerns," and sell you the cure for the flaw they just invented.
Robot tables sell you a massage with the person removed and call it the upgrade.
Moss drops the Stone on personal-care AI, then sits down with Shannon Walsh, Redken colorist and holistic stylist behind Salon Halloo, who has ...
This is the imperfect beginning of a podcast that begs to ask why the AI craze is not concerning itself with the human condition, and how we can possibly calibrate our use of it in ways that keeps our humanity in check. Guest objectives will be more about the stories that describe how we make our analog lives our center and use AI to embellish it.
We're not solving problems with AI, we understanidng it's impacts and signals...
