The Semi-Anti-Technology Tech Podcast

The inaugural episode: exploring why humans should come first, technology second. A semi-anti-technology perspective on AI, design, and digital culture.

In this inaugural episode, we introduce the philosophy of the podcast: human-first, technology-second. We explore why a semi-anti-technology perspective matters in today’s AI-saturated world. Technology should serve humanity, not the other way around.

We discuss the core principles of “thoughtful software” and why minimalism isn’t just an aesthetic choice, but a functional necessity in an age of information overload.

Topics Covered

  • The current state of AI and user interface design
  • Why “human-in-the-loop” is critical for the future of software
  • The philosophy behind Apps for Humans
  • How to design for calmness and clarity
