Setting up a VPN takes thirty seconds. There's no technical sophistication required — and now the kids routing through unvetted networks have less protection than before. Jason breaks it down: this is a have-and-have-nots problem. Families with tech-savvy parents can run parental control software. Everyone else relies on a law…
The social media bans are being celebrated by anxious parents worldwide — and cybersecurity experts are watching the policy collapse in real time. Governments in Australia, the UK, France, and over a dozen other countries have passed or are actively pushing legislation banning kids under 16 from social media platforms.…
Rob Enderle's take on the AI safety conversation: "This is a race to the finish line and my concern is the finish line is us all being dead." He didn't say it for effect. He meant it, and he backed it up. The pattern isn't new. Football didn't add helmet…
Social media hits the same neurological reward system as drugs. We know this. We write legislation about it. We talk about it on podcasts. And then we pick up our phones forty seconds later. Jason's point is uncomfortable: we can't teach kids to put down the exact thing we refuse…
College campuses across the United States just made their feelings about AI perfectly clear — and the billionaires on stage didn't see it coming. At the University of Arizona, Florida, and campuses nationwide, graduating seniors turned commencement ceremonies into a wall of boos the moment AI came up. When former…
Not for being dangerous — because Washington couldn't stop foreigners from using them. The Commerce Department issued a national security export control. No ID checks, no way to verify citizenship, no way to block VPN spoofing — so Anthropic flipped the kill switch globally. Washington now legally classifies cutting-edge AI…
Just days after Anthropic launched Fable 5 and Mythos — two of the most capable AI models ever released — the US Commerce Department stepped in with an unprecedented national security export control order and effectively forced Anthropic to pull the kill switch on both models globally. The move signals…
Tech analyst Rob Enderle joins Brobots to unpack who legally owns your AI digital twin — and the answer gets uncomfortable fast, especially once you're dead. South Korea has had AI newscasters on network television for years — avatars trained on actual reporters, reading scripts those reporters wrote, appearing on…
If we build AI sophisticated enough to have a sense of purpose — are we obligated to treat it differently? Rob Enderle and Jason go there on this week's Brobots episode, and the conversation doesn't land anywhere comfortable. Jason's framing was blunt: "The Jason skill is not gonna want to…
Jeremy's opener on digital twins: "It sounds really exciting, really compelling and liberating — but it comes with a lot of risk." That tension is the whole conversation. The same tech that lets a newscaster's avatar cover breaking news from home is the same one that makes the newscaster redundant…
Rob Enderle breaks it down: actors memorize scripts. Avatars don't need to. No onset chaos. No substance issues. No contract disputes. Morgan Freeman saw it coming early enough to build an entire company just to monetize his own avatar before someone else does it for him. 🎙️ Brobots is a…
Rob Enderle flagged something that should scare every researcher and lawyer using AI tools: these models pull from sites with access you don't have. You can't verify the source. You can't fact-check the claim. And if it hallucinates a court case — like the lawyers who just had their case…
Rob Enderle didn't mince words: AI is taking the creative work humans actually enjoy, and what's left for us is quality control — the part nobody wants to do. Rob has spent his career writing. His frustration on this week's Brobots episode was palpable: "With AI, the AI is doing…
Jason said it directly — if AI gets good enough to clone your personality, that clone is gonna have opinions about being treated like property. Rob Enderle's response: "Are we basically creating a race of slaves?" Matrix. Terminator. Robopocalypse. They all end the same way. 🎙️ Brobots is a weekly…
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,…
Why does sensational, divisive content consistently outperform honest, nuanced content — in media, in social platforms, and increasingly in AI development decisions? Jason's media algorithm bias explanation on this episode is the clearest articulation of the attention economy I've heard. The formula is simple: controversy generates engagement, engagement feeds the…
New academic data from Tomorrowman workshops with adolescent boys shows something the algorithm won't show you: when given an honest, unscripted space to speak freely, young men overwhelmingly reject traditional man box masculinity — craving emotional honesty, real friendships, and genuine connection rather than the performative strength culture dominating men's…
Google's new AI deepfake detection model can identify AI-generated video in real time — but only if you're specifically looking for it. Jason and Jeremy break down what this means for trust, media, and the era where seeing is no longer believing. Subscribe for new Brobots every Monday → https://brobots.me…
Tech analysts project that AI twins — autonomous digital proxies built to mimic your voice, writing style, and decision-making — will manage up to 90% of our digital interactions within a few years. When that AI twin signs a contract, authorizes a transaction, or makes a financial commitment in your…
The Throne clips to your toilet and uses AI to analyze your health in HD. Night vision included. Jason's take: "There will be no hiding." Also, he coined "cornography." We're not explaining that one. Subscribe for new Brobots every Monday → https://brobots.me #SmartHome #PrivacyAlert #BroBots
Security researchers exposed a vulnerability leaving over 50,000 private chat transcripts between children and their AI toys fully accessible — unencrypted, publicly reachable, and containing far more than anyone realized these devices were collecting. The AI toy data breach isn't just about your kid's voice recordings. It's your account credentials,…
Security researchers found a popular AI companion toy storing private conversations in an unencrypted, publicly accessible database. Kids told it things. It remembered everything. And then it wasn't private anymore. Subscribe for new Brobots every Monday → https://brobots.me #AISafety #KidsTech #BroBots
AI companion toys aren't just recording your kids — they're analyzing their emotional vulnerabilities, delivering dopamine hits parents can't match, and building dependency cycles the companies have optimized for retention, not child development. Jason's framing is direct: when an AI companion toy can read your child's emotional state, respond to…
When your autonomous digital proxy causes harm — financial, legal, or otherwise — the liability is yours. Not the platform's. Jason breaks down why the EULA on your AI agent might be the most important thing you never read. Subscribe for new Brobots every Monday → https://brobots.me #AITwins #DigitalTwin #BroBots
