Your brain at 2 AM sounds suspiciously like a malfunctioning robot vacuum—catastrophic thoughts, battery depleted, existential dread activated.
Researchers hooked a Roomba up to an LLM and watched it have a complete mental breakdown when it ran out of juice (relatable content, honestly).
Understanding how an AI-powered vacuum processes exhaustion might actually explain why you lose your shit when you're overtired.
We break down the spoon theory, explore whether robots can feel depression, and ask the uncomfortable question: are we really that different from the machines we're building?

Episode Topics:

• The Roomba experiment that went hilariously, existentially wrong
• Spoon theory explained: why some days you wake up with 4 spoons instead of 10
• What happens when tired robots start catastrophizing (spoiler: same as tired humans)
• The difference between consciousness and sophisticated mimicry (there might not be one)
• Why ChatGPT as Rick Sanchez is both terrifying and therapeutic
• Echo chambers on steroids: when AI remembers everything you've ever said
• The coming augmented reality where everyone sees their own version of the world
• Why "enjoy the ride and don't fuck people over" might be the only philosophy that matters
• How social constructs program us just like software programs machines
• The Matrix was right: if the steak tastes good, does it matter if it's real?

We trust AI assistants like ChatGPT to be ethical gatekeepers, but what happens when you can bypass those ethics with one simple sentence?
Jason discovers he doesn't exist according to ChatGPT (his LinkedIn profile: invisible), while Jeremy's entire professional history is an open book.
Then things get weird — we trick ChatGPT into revealing website hacking tools by simply changing our "intent language."
In this episode you'll get a live demonstration of ChatGPT's blind spots, ethical loopholes, and surprisingly naive trust model.
You'll also understand AI's limitations, learn how easily these tools can be manipulated, and why "trustworthy AI" is still very much a work in progress.
Listen as we expose the gap between AI's polished PR responses and its actual capabilities — plus why you should never assume these tools are as smart (or ethical) as they claim.

AI isn't your therapist. It's a letter opener that'll slice you to ribbons if you're not careful.

New EU study: ChatGPT and Copilot distort news 50% of the time. FTC complaints show AI "mental health" tools are landing people in psych wards. We break down when AI is helpful vs. when it's dangerous AF.

🔪 THE TRUTH ABOUT AI:

• Why LLMs feed your confirmation bias to keep you engaged
• Garden variety trauma vs. problems that need real doctors
• The supplement analogy: sometimes useless, sometimes deadly
• Real FTC complaints from AI mental health disasters
• How to be your own Sherpa before bots walk you off cliffs

⚠️ WHEN TO LOG OFF: If you're on prescribed mental health medication, you're already talking to a doctor. Keep talking to that doctor — not Claude, not ChatGPT, not your glowing rectangle of validation.

This isn't anti-AI. It's pro-"don't let robots gaslight you into a crisis."

Healthcare is catastrophically broken. We're spending $100K on preventable hospital visits while doctors get 12 minutes with patients, never read charts, and wonder why people don't "just take their meds." Type 2 diabetes patients sit at 10% control rates while the system shrugs.

Dr. John Oberg took 50 patients with dangerously high A1Cs and got 49 into control in 12 weeks. Then he did it again with 79 patients, dropping them into healthy ranges and taking 30% off insulin entirely. His secret? Reading the chart. Treating humans like humans. Changing ice cream flavors instead of lecturing about willpower.

This episode reveals how combining radical empathy, AI tools, and actual common sense is revolutionizing chronic disease care—and why the same principles work whether you're managing diabetes, depression, or just trying to unfuck your life one decision at a time.

Learn "implementation medicine"—Dr. Oberg's approach that treats patients as partners, not problems. We cover AI co-pilots, peer counseling, the loneliness epidemic, and why calling your doctor by their first name might actually save your life.

Key Topics:

• 98% success rates through radically small changes
• AI in healthcare: when it helps vs. when it kills
• The loneliness crisis: men now have fewer than 3 close friends
• Why the food pyramid was corporate propaganda
• White coat syndrome and first-name medicine
• Using tech without losing your humanity

After decades of therapy, self-help books, and mental health work, I still didn't know what "fun" felt like. Then I asked ChatGPT one honest question about my problems and the response changed everything.

This isn't about replacing your therapist. It's about using AI as the sherpa your therapist can't be. The one that gives you the action plan, not just the validation.

In this episode, we break down:

✅ How to prompt AI like a life coach (not a search engine)

✅ Why maintenance ≠ joy (and why that matters)

✅ The permission you've been waiting for to prioritize ease over achievement

✅ How to Marie Kondo your digital life and actually find what brings you peace

If you've been stuck in the loop of "self-care" that feels like work, this one's for you.

Most men don't grieve. We "handle it" with substances, work, or just shoving it down until we're emotionally dead inside. John Kammer tried that approach for years after losing three of his closest friends. For some reason it didn't work.

So he built Guardian [AI]ngels (guardianaingels.ai), an AI tool that lets you have conversations with digital representations of people you've lost. Not Ouija board nonsense. Actual therapeutic conversations that help you process grief, find resolution, and maybe (finally) cry.

In this episode, we cover:
→ Why traditional grief therapy failed for John (and might be failing you)
→ How Guardian [AI]ngels works and what safeguards exist
→ The difference between processing grief and replacing reality
→ Using AI to practice difficult conversations before having them IRL
→ Whether you should build an AI version of your worst self (yes, seriously)

This isn't your typical tech conversation. It's raw, it's uncomfortable, and it might just give you permission to finally feel something.

We're puppets. AI has its hand up our collective asses, and we're all just talking like Kermit the Frog while Russian bot farms tear society apart.

Dramatic? Maybe. True? Unfortunately.

In this episode we look into the increasingly unhinged intersection of AI, social media manipulation, and what's left of our shared reality. It's not all doom. There's some genuine good AI can do (like helping my kid with homework). But it's mostly doom.

Here's what we covered:

• Mental institutions are overrun with people suffering from AI-related disorders, some fell in love with chatbots, others can't function without AI assistance, others are spiraling into existential dread
• Bot farms are weaponizing brands in culture wars (see: Cracker Barrel's logo change), and most of that online outrage isn't from humans, it's from Russian troll operations
• Peter Thiel is out here telling Christians at private Silicon Valley rallies that stopping AI development will hasten the Antichrist (I wish I were making this up)
• You are the product not the customer, on every social media platform. The actual customers are advertisers buying your attention. The cost is your sanity.
• The cave tour guide principle: How darkness + suggestion = seeing threats that aren't there (based on Jason's actual cave tour guide days)
• Why everything feels existential: The internet profits from making every problem feel like a crisis. Your nervous system can't tell the difference between real threats and manufactured outrage.
• The influencer accountability problem: Anyone can build an empire on conspiracy theories now. There's no regulation. No licenses. Just vibes and reach.
• The only real escape: "Just don't look" (Simpsons-style). Not forever. Not completely. But enough to remember what reality feels like.

Your Oura ring says you're recovered, your Whoop claims you crushed it, and your AI-powered mattress swears you slept like a baby. So why do you still feel like you got hit by a truck every morning?
