Why Claude Code feels like a new moment

This week, Jonathan Haidt, author of “The Anxious Generation,” returns to the show to discuss new research about how social media is harming teens and what it’s been like to become the face of a global movement against the platforms. Then, we asked what you were building with Claude Code, and you blew us away. We’ll share some of our favorite projects that you sent us. And finally, we’re joined by PJ Vogt, the host of “Search Engine,” to talk about our early adventures in the Forkiverse and what we’ve learned so far about running a social media network.

Guests:

• Jonathan Haidt, social psychologist and author of “The Anxious Generation"
• PJ Vogt, host of “Search Engine”

Additional Reading: 

• Mountains of Evidence 
• Meta’s Internal Research
• An NYT Event in LA - Trump: The First Year of His Second Term
