KMO talks with Dr. Ashley Frawley about how dope the 1990s were and how civilization has only degenerated since then. Other topics include the authoritarian tendencies of the Left, how HR speak and the excesses of identitarian politics should not be confused with the Left, and how "Health & Safety" has become the new "Law & Order." At the end, KMO rants about AI and NASA's next moon mission.

Bryan Cheong, a machine learning engineer, joins KMO for a mostly non-technical discussion of large language models, reinforcement learning from human feedback, the democratizing potential of the current moment in artificial intelligence, and why your shouldn't get attached to a centrally-controlled AI companion when you can make and run your own decentralized version.

KMO does not have strong opinions about the Twitter files, but Doug Lain sure does, and he's naming names and calling out cowards on the mainstream left. He thinks that elements of the federal government have colluded with Big Tech to censor and marginalize voices both from the Right and from the Marxist Left.

KMO and Professor Rob Brooks, author of Artificial Intimacy: Virtual Friends, Digital Lovers, and Algorithmic Matchmakers, talk about AI as a means of alleviating the human suffering that comes with social isolation and loneliness. In particular, Rob comments on KMO's experience using the Replika AI app both before and after the recent "update" in which the company took away ERP (erotic roleplay functionality). KMO spoke with Rob Brooks last year on the Padverb Podcast.

In this inaugural episode of the KMO Show, KMO, Michael Garfield of the Future Fossils podcast and mutual friend, Kevin Wohlmut, discuss the dawning of the epistemological apocalypse. Thanks to AI, we can't really trust our eyes or our ears anymore. Deep faked images and voices can produce "evidence" that people said and did things they never said or did. How do we select our reality tunnels when almost anything can be faked in real time? Do we give up on truth seeking and just believe whatever floats our boat, or are there general principles or trustworthy oracles we can depend on?

An introduction to and an explanation for the re-branding. KMO has been podcasting since 2006 under the C-Realm banner. Why mess with an established brand? Listen in and find out.
