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.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
He said, what I'm doing making these AI videos is
actually better than real true crime because there's no real
victims involved.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I'm Dexter Thomas and I'm the host of kill Switch,
where we explain the right now of living in the future,
everything from making money on saving fake baby animals to
how you could get arrested by a police algorithm.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Police are trusting this kind of they're kind of imbuing
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):
Now we're at the point where with AI, like you
could be fake now and I have no idea if
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

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
