8:51Now PlayingNeil deGrasse Tyson, co-host Negin Farsad, and guest Jaron Lanier discuss whether people should delete social media, whether digital platforms help or degrade human thinking, and how AI may become the next major tech responsibility crisis. The main idea is that social media and AI are not simply “good” or “bad”; Lanier argues that some people benefit while many are harmed, and that society needs constructive reform rather than total destruction of big tech.
