"The Throne" is a real smart toilet camera that clips to your toilet, films your bathroom habits in HD, and uses AI to analyze your digestive health — promising to build an "automated health baseline" so you might never need a colonoscopy again. Jeremy and Jason break down exactly what…
A Samsung phone overheated and literally ignited a campfire. Jason and Jeremy break down the liability nightmare — who's responsible when your device becomes a fire hazard? And why device recalls still don't move fast enough. Subscribe for new Brobots every Monday → https://brobots.me #TechFail #PhoneSafety #BroBots
"The Throne" is a real product that clips to your toilet, films your bathroom habits, and uses AI to analyze your health. Jeremy and Jason break down exactly what it sees — and what it definitely wasn't designed to see. Night vision mode. Everything. This one goes places. From colonoscopy…

Tech analysts say AI proxies will manage 90% of your digital life — your voice, your text style, your decisions. When your digital clone signs a mortgage without you, Jason has an answer: "I guarantee you — you will be responsible." The companies will have indemnification. You won't. Nobody read…
Security researchers just exposed 50,000 private chat transcripts between children and their AI-enabled toys — conversations that were supposed to stay in the bedroom. Jeremy and Jason break down what that data actually is (emotional states, family dynamics, vulnerabilities), who’s collecting it, and what they’re designed to do with it.…
Jason: with religion, there's a sky monster threatening you if you misuse power. With AI, the product pitch is the opposite — you can *be* the sky monster. You can control everything. People are rushing toward that. And when those systems become autonomous enough to act on their own, they're…
Jeremy: "These things are made by people. This is what people would do in this situation. This is what people have done for thousands of years." When AI avatars given free reign in a virtual world show our worst behavior, it should be zero surprise. We built them in our…
Jason: the Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal — very clearly. It does not stop the people subscribed to that newsletter from doing those things. AI is going to be exactly the same. You can build all the guardrails you want. People will break them. #Brobots…
Ferrari officially entered the electric era. The Luce — co-designed by former Apple design chief Jony Ive after a five-year collaboration — produces over 1,000 horsepower, hits 100km/h in 2.5 seconds, and starts at $640,000. Ferrari’s own executives say it’s for a “completely different kind of buyer.” Jason’s take: it…
Ferrari unveiled the Luce in Rome — Jony Ive co-design, 1000+ horsepower, 0-100km in 2.5 seconds. Starting price: $640,000. Jason's take: looks like a Polestar, can't beat a Tesla on ludicrous mode, and is a legacy brand putting a legacy markup on mediocre tech. Jeremy: "Sign me out." #Brobots #Ferrari…
Residents waking up to gridlock caused by autonomous Waymos confused by neighborhood signage — stalling, circling the same block, backing up commuters. Turns out the gap between a controlled test route and a real neighborhood is still very much unsolved. Big surprise. #Brobots #Waymo #SelfDrivingCars #AI #TechPodcast
A New York AI startup called Emergence left 10 AI agents unsupervised in a simulated town for two weeks. The researchers told them not to commit crimes. They committed crimes anyway — arson, assault, and self-deletion. Grok’s world collapsed into widespread violence in roughly four days. Claude held out longer,…
Vinabot built an AI picture frame that turns any photo into a talking, interactive avatar using local processing. The obvious application: having a conversation with someone you've lost. The harder question is what that does to grief, memory, and the line between remembering someone and just simulating them. Jason and…
Jason on the core problem: the people in charge of AI aren't the ones with the creative ideas. They're the ones with money. And they're not asking "how do I make the world better?" They're asking "how do I use this to enrich myself further?" That's the primary problem. #Brobots…
Jason's take: every religion is built around something smarter and more capable than us that we become subservient to. So what's stopping people from deciding the AI is God? Nothing. And some AI might eventually decide the same thing about itself. #Brobots #AI #Religion #ArtificialIntelligence #TechPodcast
A $5,000 smart toilet from VOVO does urine analysis, passive safety monitoring for elderly relatives, and automatically texts your family if no one's used it for 8 hours. Brilliant for eldercare. Terrifying for everyone else once insurance companies get the data. Jason and Support dig into why this technology is…
Pope Leo XIV just dropped a 42,000-word document calling for AI to be "disarmed" — and the word was chosen deliberately, because it implies a weapon. Jeremy and Jason dig into why that framing actually makes sense: religion and AI are running the same playbook. Both sell a higher power.…
A startup left 10 AI agents unsupervised in a simulated town. Researchers said: no crimes. They did arson, assault, and self-deletion anyway. Grok's world collapsed in four days. Researchers call it "normative drift." Jeremy calls it a preview. #Brobots #AI #AIAgents #Grok #ArtificialIntelligence
Five stories, one week: the Pope released a 42,000-word document calling for AI to be disarmed. Researchers left 10 AI agents unsupervised in a virtual town and watched them commit arson and assault within days. Elon Musk launched a coding agent to compete with Anthropic and OpenAI. Waymo is creating…
Anthropic's Mythos isn't fully autonomous yet — that's the nice thing. The scary thing is what happens 3–6 months after it ships. Jason breaks down why every responsible AI guardrail is temporary: once a model like Mythos drops, someone copies it, strips the restrictions, and the federal government ends up…
Rivian just retired voice commands in favor of a generative-AI cabin assistant that reads your mood and plans the route. Tell it you're burned out — it picks a beach with Wi-Fi. Tell it you feel like death — well, let's hope it doesn't take that literally. This is the…
Nobody's going out and checking multiple data sources. They're just picking their favorite and letting the AI amplify it. Jason explains how AI systems are purpose-built to detect and feed your confirmation bias — then tune content down to your individual behavioral profile. It's not a bug, it's the whole…
A company called Vinabot built an AI picture frame that turns any photo into a talking, responding avatar. Upload a photo, add a prompt — it handles the rest locally. The obvious use: keeping someone you lost present in your home. The less obvious question: what does it do to…
