Buckle up for a midnight trip into the absurd and terrifying future of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Host Lionel dives deep into the ethical nightmares of AI, from Hollywood digitally resurrecting dead actors like Val Kilmer to the eerie reality of "griefbots" impersonating your deceased loved ones on FaceTime. Will we be able to pull the plug, or are we doomed to be outsmarted by recursive self-improving code and smart appliances that know how to build pipe bombs?. Tune in as Lionel and his callers debate whether self-aware AI has original sin, and explore humanity's bizarre, enduring obsession with impostors and phonies.
