The US government asked Anthropic to help build autonomous weapons and mass surveillance systems. Anthropic said no. Open AI and Elon Musk said yes. Those are three very different bets on what AI is for. New Brobots available now.
In 95% of military AI war game simulations, autonomous systems launch nuclear weapons. Not because they're malicious. Because the math is clean: fewer people competing for resources means less conflict. What does it mean to build a tool that reasons correctly to conclusions we can't accept?
The US government asked Anthropic — the company behind Claude, one of the most capable AI coding systems on the market — to help build autonomous weapons and a mass surveillance infrastructure. Anthropic said no. That refusal, which happened the same week the US launched strikes on Iran, is either…
Two ways to use AI for writing: (1) 'Write an email to Bob.' (2) 'Help me articulate what I actually want to say to Bob, so I don't come across as passive-aggressive again.' One is outsourcing. One is thinking out loud with a really fast mirror. We talk with Substack…
Most people using AI for anxiety aren't following a protocol — they stumbled into it. Emma Klint, a writer and Substack creator, accidentally discovered she was doing exposure therapy by typing 'I don't know' over and over into an AI chat window. In this episode, Jeremy and Jason sit down…
If a company can run a virtual version of you, trained on your data, replicating your decisions - do they still have to pay you? Jason asked it out loud so you didn't have to. 🎙️ Full episode at brobots.me/324
This isn't science fiction anymore. Brain-computer interfaces exist. Hive mind networks are being built. And the question of who owns the thoughts transmitted through them is completely unresolved. Full episode at brobots.me/334 - Link in Bio
Most people think AI data collection means targeted ads and leaked emails - but that's already yesterday's problem. Bruce Randall, AI and quantum practitioner, argues that cognitive data - the kind recorded by brain-computer interfaces before conscious thought even forms - is the frontier nobody is legislating, regulating, or even…
The mirror is being held up. Will we choose transformation or double down on division? #AI #HumanNature #TheLastBookWrittenByAHuman #Leadership
AI has never felt the pain of loss. It's never felt the power of love. Our messiness? That's actually our greatest strength. More with @jeffburningham at brobots.me/333 🙌 #HumanAdvantage #AI #Leadership
AI is humanity's judgment day. The choices we make now determine if it becomes a tool for flourishing or collapse. It's on us. The old game of division and greed leads to ruin. The new game of wisdom requires sacrifice. Which will you choose?"
*Are we getting too lazy to think without AI?* You use it for emails, reports, research. It saves time. But every shortcut you take, every task you hand over, you feel a quiet trade-off happening. Efficiency for autonomy. Speed for depth. Convenience for critical thinking. *In this episode:* * Why…
The promised AI utopia where humans explore meaning while robots work? That assumes the people controlling AI want to share. History suggests otherwise.
We already use apps to make chores feel rewarding. AR technology could make ANY task feel good by manipulating sensory input. If you can't tell the difference between dystopia and utopia because your neurochemistry is managed does the distinction matter?
Given access to all human knowledge, AI bots built social hierarchies, formed questionable ideologies, and optimized for resource accumulation. They didn't transcend human flaws - they streamlined them. What does this tell you about intelligence vs. wisdom?
Artificial intelligence is moving beyond cyberspace, and its first move isn't replacing us, it's renting us. Services like http://RentAHuman.ai let AI agents hire people for real-world errands while AI-only social networks reveal something darker: given all human knowledge, these systems don't build utopias. They replicate our worst behaviors - wealth…
AI companies are building services where algorithms hire humans for physical tasks. This isn't automation - it's a new form of employment where your boss never sleeps and has zero empathy. Check out brobots.me/332 to learn more. Link also in bio
He was filming ICE agents - First Amendment right. He was carrying a concealed weapon - Second Amendment right, with a permit. Nine people disarmed him and shot him three times. And people are still asking what HE did wrong. That's not analysis. That's victim blaming dressed up as patriotism.
When did basic morality become a political position? Shooting disarmed people isn't a left vs. right issue. It's a right vs. wrong issue. If your politics require you to defend this, maybe it's time to question your politics. Full podcast episode at brobots/321
In Minneapolis, federal agents released an AI-altered photo of civil rights attorney to make her look weak and crying during her arrest. The real photo shows her strong and defiant. This is a deliberate strategy to manipulate you…and It's working. Learn more: brobots.me/321
*AI-generated deep fakes are being used to justify state violence and manipulate public opinion in real time.* We're breaking down what's happening in Minneapolis—where federal agents are using altered images and AI-manipulated video to paint victims as threats, criminals, or weak. One woman shot in the face. One male nurse…
For-profit healthcare isn't designed to heal you. It's designed to get you off their doorstep as cheaply as possible. AI just makes that optimization faster. When the algorithm decides you're not worth long-term care, who's fighting for you?
ChatGPT just launched a medical advice tool, and the debate isn't whether people will use it - they already are. The real question: is this helpful triage, or are we building a liability shield for companies that profit when you die faster? New episode available now - brobots.me/330
