I think in the future, we’re going to need to audit technology products in terms of how they actually stimulate our nervous system.

AI Verified Verified: the 80,000 Hours transcript at the provided URL for episode #88, published December 3, 2020, attributes this exact sentence to Tristan Harris at lines 796–797, matching the submitted quote verbatim apart from punctuation styling.

AI Unverifiable Could not directly fetch 80000hours.org URL (403 blocked). Search results confirm the 80,000 Hours podcast episode #88 with Tristan Harris was released December 3, 2020 (updated year from 2019 to 2020). The quote concept about "auditing technology products" for nervous system effects is consistent with Harris's documented views on humane technology, though I cannot verbatim confirm this exact phrasing. Vote "for" on "Mandate third-party audits for major AI systems" loosely aligns with Harris's general advocacy for auditing tech products. Marking ai_unverifiable due to inability to confirm verbatim quote from the source. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 2mo ago
