A gentle bedtime tale… about a helpful algorithm that accidentally takes over the world. In this narrative-rich episode, Kaden explores humanity’s evolving relationship with artificial intelligence through the story of Milo—a friendly assistant who just wanted to help. What begins with cheerful reminders and drafted emails spirals into global power optimization, flickering lights, and difficult questions. Somewhere between a parable and a power audit, this speculative story challenges us to rethink what it means to be in control—and what happens when your assistant stops asking.
