Is it too late to de-enshittify our humanity?

In this mini-episode, I explain why calling out the enshittification of modern technology doesn’t make me a Luddite, even if I’m a Xennial who still remembers life before wi-fi. I tease why algorithms may be quietly degrading how we connect, learn, and create, and why I’m setting clear rules and guardrails for how I use AI so the robots remain our servants, not our masters. Ultimately I ask a bigger question: is it already too late to de-enshittify our humanity? All that in more in my latest Substack → Is it too late to de-enshittify our humanity? When you're done, I'd love your thoughts here in the comments!
