They Might Be Self-Aware

Claude AI Listened To 120 Episodes, Then It Interviewed Us


Listen Later

We let an AI binge our show and judge us on-air—then we argued about VR work prisons, robot wives, Devin the “AI engineer,” and whether copyright is dead.

Tonight’s fights & confessions (scan these):
• VR Work: Freedom or 996-style dystopia? Boss-mandated metaverse vs solo beach “vibe coding.”
• Is Gary real? The $47 voice—and why humans still beat AI at story.
• Self-Driving x Insurance: Will insurers kill autonomy… or themselves?
• Devin (AI engineer): Intern-tier useful or prod-level risk? Where we actually trust it.
• Personal Turing Test: What it takes to fool us in real life.
• AI Girlfriend Line: Would you date a robot in public?
• Sellout Math: Our $100M price to let AI run TMBSA forever.
• Simulation & Self-Awareness: Are we the test… or the tested?
