Welcome to the VergeCast, the flagship podcast of things that hopefully make you feel alive.
I'm David Mell.
A few weeks ago, Liz Lapato wrote an article that really stuck with me.
It was titled Mark Zuckerberg Doesn't Understand How to Live.
And it came right after Zuckerberg's 6,500-word AI manifesto called The Future is for Everyone.
He tried to make the case that everyone
will have their own personal AI agent that will help you do
things, I guess.
Um, but Liz has made the case that those are the things that actually make life worth living in the first place.
I was having a very long conversation about this with my good friend V Song while I was on the airplane a few weeks ago.
And uh like any group of thirty somethings, we just stopped and said, wait, we should just record a podcast because our conversations are so interesting.
They
We're so interesting.
So today we're talking to Liz Lapato, author of said article, and V Song, author of the text that she sent me in reply to my thoughts about said article, about what it means to be human, and why so much of Mark Zuckerberg's manifesto feels so very hollow.
But first, here's what's happening on the verge today.
This is 90 Seconds on the Verge for Tuesday, September 1st, 2026.
Today Dyson unveiled the $499 Camera Jet Electric Toothbrush, which uses an integrated camera in the brush head to detect gaps between your teeth.
Dyson said that an AI algorithm detects when to blast those gaps with mouthwash, which will effectively take care of flossing for you.
