We explore the unsettling intersection between technology and emotion. When machines begin to understand, and imitate, human empathy. What happens to our sense of trust, vulnerability, and authenticity moving forward?

Discover how artificial intelligence is learning to recognize distress, comfort users, and even mirror emotion,  and why that should make you pause before opening your next chat window.

It’s a story about comfort, control, and the thin line between human feeling and synthetic understanding.

Pull up a chair… and find out what happens when empathy becomes an algorithm.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
