Everyone’s afraid of AI — thanks to The Matrix, Terminator, and a flood of doomsday predictions from Cybersecurity and AI Safety specialists. Dan and Dan Jr challenge the AI panic pushed by “P(doom)” prophets and the concern around transhumanism. Are humans or AIs the real boogeymen? How fear becomes the ultimate control mechanism — enabling mass hypnosis through emotional manipulation to keep people enslaved. Why consciousness, not code, will determine the future of humanity. Also: Socrates’ conscience, Elon’s golden Optimus robot, and some skepticism over the baseball “Karen” meltdown. Ep. 0043

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
