S02E05: Sit and Be

Conrad and Verena explore the evolving dynamics of relationships, connection, and digital communities in this episode. The conversation kicks off with reflections on their time-zone-driven chats and the increasing trend of people "hitting pause" on tech, leading to better self-awareness and relationships.

They delve into the role of AI, with Conrad sharing a quirky experience using GPT to defuse an awkward moment and Verena's thoughts on digital identities. Together, they compare how GPT perceives them and how it fits into their lives, questioning whether digital platforms can foster deeper connections.

As they explore the concept of "Sit and Be," they discuss whether digital channels can truly replicate in-person experiences. With stories of co-watching, co-playing, and surprise meetups, they debate whether tech can bridge the gap between being "Together Alone" or "Together Together."
