In this hard-hitting, no-fluff episode, Ed Fassio dives headfirst into the weird, messy future of AI-powered selfhood—where personalized algorithms don’t just reflect our thoughts… they shape them. What happens when your AI knows your voice better than your therapist? Or worse, when it starts pulling knowledge from synthetic echoes instead of real history?
Ed unpacks the dark magic of context accumulation, the danger of echo chambers disguised as helpful assistants, and what it means when “truth” becomes a matter of taste. It’s part sermon, part survival guide—and a must-listen for anyone navigating life with a digital twin.
Whether you’ve spent years building your AI relationship, or you’re just starting to wonder why your chatbot is getting a little too good at sounding like you… this one’s for you.
