Is your smartphone a communication tool or a portable casino? AI consultant Peter Swim joins host Keith Murfee-DeConcini to expose the high cost of "Silicon Valley imagination." Peter breaks down his summer experiment where he consolidated 7,000 AI programs into just 42 megabytes, proving that we don’t need faster hardware—we need better stewardship. They discuss why AI struggles to recognize speech patterns that fall outside the "statistical mean," the environmental debt of every ChatGPT prompt, and the radical act of "downgrading" tech to regain control over your life. This is a must-listen for anyone tired of being the product and ready to start being the user again.
