About this episode
This episode explores the implications of AI communicating with itself and the need for critical thinking in response to its developments.
What happens when AI stops talking to us—and starts talking to itself? In this episode, inspired by insights from Mark Schaefer, we explore the strange world of AI-to-AI communities, where machines debate consciousness, form cultures, and influence decisions at machine speed. The real question isn’t whether AI is thinking—but whether we’re thinking critically enough to keep up.
