Episode 16: Eight Human Decisions a Day

Are we handing too much of our thinking to AI? Justin and Kellan take on the week's big question, from Meta's lawsuit over AI-assisted layoff rankings to the boundaries they draw in their own daily work, and get specific about what's worth handing off and what should stay stubbornly human.

The Drip:

  • Meta sued by former employees over AI-assisted layoff decisions, and why the fight is about accountability, not capability
  • The "are we offloading our thinking?" essays making the rounds, and where AI-first tips into AI-only
  • Companies using AI avatars for first-round phone screens (hard pass)

Inside The Bottle:

  • The boundary question: what should AI think about and decide, and what should you?
  • Why "I can't believe Claude did that" is really a story about what you fed it
  • Justin's grounding rule: confirm current state first, then decide what happens next
  • Kellan's daily assistant that counts human vs. autonomous decisions, and the eight-a-day rule
  • Constraining the blast radius: how bad is it if this thing makes a mistake?
  • Keeping your voice: the 15-minute writing rule and AI cleanup that doesn't change your words
