Tech & Society Episodes

You think your two-factor authentication and credit monitoring make you safe online. Bad news - you're probably already compromised, you just don't know it yet. While you're worrying about AI becoming Skynet, real humans are using AI tools to drain your bank account $10 at a time. Anthropic just reported the first fully AI-orchestrated cyberattack (and patted themselves on the back for stopping it). Major security companies like F5 and Experian have been hacked. Even LifeLock—yes, the identity...

our digital twin is already being built — and you probably signed away the rights in a terms-of-service agreement you never read. Rob Enderle, principal analyst at The Enderle Group, joins Jeremy and Jason to stress-test the next wave of AI avatars: the technology that can replicate your face, voice, and decision-making patterns well enough to attend your meetings, sign your contracts, and — if someone hostile gets hold of it — torch your reputation or your life. The conversation covers who owns...

Anthropic is voluntarily briefing the Financial Stability Board on a frontier model they haven't released yet — which is either a responsible act of self-regulation or a preview of just how serious they think the risk is. In this episode, Jeremy and Jason break down what Mythos actually represents, why the chip and capital arms race has locked out the people who built the internet's early open infrastructure, and what happens when powerful AI tools get cloned and weaponized before the guardrails...

How Tech Is Making Us Miserable (And How to Fix It) Feeling like your screens are stealing your happiness? Welcome to the episode where we chat about how our obsession with tech might be killing our joy—and how a little mindfulness could save us. Key Takeaways Our minds are wandering away from the present nearly 50% of the time, according to a 2010 study, and it’s making us unhappy. Devices exploit our dissatisfaction, and the attention economy is a mental health destroyer. Mindfulness and ...

Anthropic's new Mythos model didn't just get better at writing code — it got better at breaking it. In an hour, an AI mapped decades of hidden vulnerabilities across live systems. In four hours, a supply chain attack silently exfiltrated 500,000 credentials and compromised 20,000 repositories. The question isn't whether this is alarming. It's whether the companies and governments responsible for protecting critical infrastructure — water, power, gas — are anywhere close to ready. On this episode...

We're puppets. AI has its hand up our collective asses, and we're all just talking like Kermit the Frog while Russian bot farms tear society apart. Dramatic? Maybe. True? Unfortunately. In this episode we look into the increasingly unhinged intersection of AI, social media manipulation, and what's left of our shared reality. It's not all doom. There's some genuine good AI can do (like helping my kid with homework). But it's mostly doom. Here's what we covered: The Episode Breakdown ...

You're doom-scrolling your life away while real connections and genuine peace exist three feet outside your door.

Learn the brutal truth about social media addiction, get practical steps for digital detox, and find out how to reconnec...

Your Oura ring says you're recovered, your Whoop claims you crushed it, and your AI-powered mattress swears you slept like a baby. So why do you still feel like you got hit by a truck every morning? Meanwhile, your bathroom cabinet looks like a CVS exploded, and each "solution" creates three new problems. Marcus Fernandez spent 30 years mastering homeopathy and just built an AI clone of himself that clients can chat with 24/7. He reveals how 200-year-old German medicine principles combined with...

Why do complete strangers online make you angrier than people you actually know? We're living in algorithmic echo chambers where billion-dollar tech companies profit from our rage while we argue about shit that doesn't matter. Meanwhile, Charlie Kirk's death spawned government censorship, proving we've lost the ability to tell minor grievances from existential crises. In this episode, learn how to escape the digital outrage machine that's hijacking your mental health. Discover why real-wor...

Think you're keeping up with AI evolution? While we're busy making AI girlfriends and robotic wombs, we might be accidentally creating the next branch of humanity—and we're probably the Neanderthals in this story. Discover why human evolution isn't a straight line, how AI relationships are rewiring love itself, and whether artificial wombs will make us obsolete (plus why rich people will literally harvest poor babies). Listen now before the robots figure out we're onto them. Topics Discusse...

Drowning in AI hype and feeling like a digital caveman? Every day brings another "revolutionary" AI tool you MUST master or risk career extinction. The constant barrage of "7 prompts that'll make you rich" and "AI will steal your job tomorrow" content is creating anxiety, not opportunity. You're not alone in feeling overwhelmed by the machine takeover propaganda. Learn to cut through the AI noise, set healthy boundaries with technology, and maintain your human edge while AI continues its r...

Are your kids making deeper, more meaningful connections to AI chatbots than they are to their friends, family, and even you? As more kids choose artificial validation over real human connection, it's creating a generation that can't handle authentic relationships or genuine feedback. While schools push AI integration, we're accidentally teaching kids that algorithms understand them better than parents, teachers, or friends do. Discover how to help your kids use AI as a tool without losing...

Look, we spend way too much time doom-scrolling about AI taking our jobs and potentially ending humanity. But let's be real for a hot minute – there's some genuinely mind-blowing tech coming that's going to make our daily lives infinitely better.

Are you terrified AI will replace your ability to function like a normal human being? We're living through the fastest technological revolution in human history, and it's scary as hell.

From relying on screens for everything to losing basic survival skills like starting a fire without matches, we're creating our own ...
