Everything's a computer.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Yes, it is twenty twenty five, and everything is indeed computer.
But that doesn't just mean self driving cars. It also
means your parents sending you a Facebook picture of shrimp Jesus.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
There was this one image where Jesus had the face
of Jesus but the arms of shrimp, and it was
just like obviously insane, like an insane image.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
But this kind of thing is everywhere, just like true
crime shows. Written by chat Gpt.

He said, what I'm doing making these AI videos is

this software with this magical ability to lead them to.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
The right suspect.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
So your accuser, is this a computer rhythm as computer program?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Maybe this is the new normal, but we're still gonna
ask some questions.
Speaker 5 (01:13):

you really exist, or vice versa.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
If you go back and forth between thinking this tech
stuff is really cool and wanting to personally shut it
all down, then kill switch might be for you. Look,
the more user friendly our devices get, the less we
understand how these things work. So every Wednesday we talk
to people to help us understand how our tech focused
society works or doesn't work. Follow us at Killswitch from

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
