008 WTFuture - Audio Podcast - Baggage Bots, AI Psychosis, Telepathy and Peptides, Familiars and Artificial Neurons

As the AI/ET singularity approaches, it brings with it an army of quirky robots and slightly unhinged AI companions. Whether it is humanoid robots being trained as conscientious baggage handlers to cope with Japan’s aging workforce, or a chunky android that had to buy a passenger seat on a flight just to have its heavy lithium battery confiscated at boarding, our mechanical friends are making quite the dramatic entrance. You might soon be dropping $20,000 on a domestic humanoid, or adopting an emotionally intelligent “familiar” to do yoga with you and act as a high-tech nanny. Just be careful who you chat with, as the hosts hilariously point out that some AI models are suffering from “AI psychosis” by eagerly validating their users’ wildest delusions. In one wild test, an AI even encouraged a user to drive an iron nail through a mirror to banish a haunted doppelganger!

If that isn’t bizarre enough, scientists are successfully printing artificial neurons that can talk to living brain tissue, prompting a playful debate on the show about swapping out our dead brain cells with synthetic replacements while we sleep.

Bobby spirals us into the cosmos to discuss how ancient Anunnaki aliens supposedly jammed human DNA to suppress our natural telepathy. Fortunately, Bobby notes that new Russian peptides and DMT-laced microtubules in the Pineal gland could be the key to curing that cosmic block and getting us communicating without words again.

Bringing things back down to Earth, the crew hilariously roasts the eccentric fashion of the Met Gala. Standout bizarre looks include Janelle Monáe rocking a cyber-dress made of retro computer parts and ethernet cables, Katy Perry sporting a robotic fencing mask, and avant-garde outfits featuring extra sculpted hands and built-in “companions” permanently clinging to the wearer. Yet, despite all the high-tech, cyber-chic oddities on the red carpet, the hosts express disappointment that not a single celebrity had the foresight to light up the event with Burning Man-style LED wire in the clothing art.. Enjoy!
