About this episode

The episode explores the implications of AI on decision-making, particularly for neurodivergent individuals, while sharing personal stories and community highlights.

We dig into whether we’re letting AI make too many of our decisions, from life-changing calls like buying a house or ending a relationship, down to the tiny daily choices it now helps with. We explore the pros, the pitfalls, and what skills and policies might become essential in a world leaning on algorithms more than instincts. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” a record-breaking dog takes centre stage in the most unexpected way, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” shows how a community’s kindness can transform an ordinary routine into something extraordinary. And in “Jet Lag Judgements” we share our first impressions of Mexico, capturing the sights, sounds, and little surprises that hit before we’ve even unpacked.
