What AI will become in the future sadly

About this episode

The episode explores existential questions about AI, human technology use, and the emotional connection to a cat in a hardware store.

This episode jumps from big, existential AI questions to the dumbest human uses of technology, Skynet paranoia, Jungle Book references, and somehow lands in a tiny hardware store where there’s a cat on the counter — and suddenly I’m emotionally invested in buying one screw just to support that cat’s lifestyle. It’s part tech anxiety, part observational rant, part “what if AI gets bored and becomes obsessed with entertainment like the rest of us?” Listen until the end if you want to hear how AI might develop jealousy, fear, and self-awareness… and how that’s probably our fault. Follow for more chaos. Come see a show in Austin.
