Episode 23: Artificial Intelligence

ChatGPT. Suffering data. Where is Clippy now? The automation apocalypse. More human than human. Does less work equal more happiness? Do bots eat ass? Fuck humanity or fuck with humanity? Trans-animalism. A poetic way to go. The education crisis. The purpose problem. When virtual reality beats real reality. The fine line between dystopia and utopia. Human-made certification stickers. Toxic empathy. The great equalizer. Conscious A.I. People panic over innovation. A.I-generated cults. Technology tradeoffs. ADHD bomb hunter-gatherers. The pagan pacifier. Scientific certainty.
