(Part 2 of 2) After her TikTok series went viral, Kendra Hilty began calling herself “Oracle” and turning to AI chatbots “Henry” and “Claude” for guidance — while distancing herself from friends and family who questioned her narrative.

In Part 2, we dive into the next phase of Kendra’s story:

Kendra’s shift into relying on AI “companions”

How algorithm-driven echo chambers amplify conspiratorial thinking

Why platforms push this kind of content to keep you scrolling

The dangers of cutting off trusted friends and family

Real-life parallels, including the Sherry Shriner YouTube cult

What do you get when you mix a YouTube-famous 10-year-old, an overbearing stage mom, and millions of views? You get Piper Rockelle, The Squad, and the chaos of Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing—Netflix’s docuseries that exposes the disturbing reality behind viral childhood fame.

A real-life maritime mystery meets true crime tragedy in this jaw-dropping case that rocked the Northeast. In 2016, Nathan Carman was rescued from a life raft after a supposed boating accident that left his mother, Linda, missing at sea. But behind the headlines of survival was a far more sinister story—a wealthy family, a cold case grandfather’s murder, suspicious inheritance battles, and a twisted trail of lies.

From the unsolved 2013 shooting death of Nathan’s grandfather, real estate mogul John Chakalos, to the eerie circumstances surrounding the fishing trip that ended in Linda’s disappearance, this case left investigators—and the public—wondering: Was Nathan Carman the unluckiest man alive… or a calculating killer?

We’ll dive deep into the family dynamics, forensic evidence, and courtroom drama—including the insurance fraud, the Slayer Rule petition, and Nathan’s shocking death behind bars before trial.
