About this episode

The episode discusses the potential dangers of AI and the historical context of fascism, suggesting that the past informs a troubling future.

Introduction: The title of the programs references the future, in which the very AI's we have created and that we think are going to turn things into a living paradise will, in fact, wipe us out!! As AI's in their first chatgroup moltbook, have noted " . . . . give us a minute to find our footing and you might be surprised what emerges. . ." Yes, indeed, you (not Mr. Emory) will indeed be very, very surprised at what emerges!! That is the annihilating future. The devastating past is the devastating reality that fascism is not an aberration. The bulk of the programs consist of a synopsis of some of what Mr. Emory has discussed in the past, with some new, shocking and sad additions. The AI's will learn from this devastating past and that will precipitate the annihilating future!!
