About this listen

Part two of the AI spiral — and this is where it gets weirder.

In this episode, I keep pulling on the thread from part one: if AI keeps evolving, does it eventually crave human emotion? Does it want to be human? Or do we end up in a symbiotic relationship where AI optimizes our bodies, our health, and our limits… while something else about us quietly atrophies?

I go from alternate timelines of technology (messenger pigeons vs smartphones), to symbiotic AI fixing our bone density in real time, to humans evolving into something closer to mushrooms, sonar creatures, or telepathic weirdos drifting through space.

This one turns into a conversation about instincts, discipline, self-integrity, and what happens when we outsource too much of our awareness. If AI ever does take over, and we end up in a Skynet situation, it might honestly be on us — because we saw it coming and kept building the bonfire next to the gas factory anyway.
