Wow, I ha e never been big on using social media, but now I'm glad. Those systems already have too much of my information. Thank you AJ for again shining a light on yet another dark corner. New Patreon member, Techx

I’m not fake or am I? Very confusing era we live in. It does make sense that follow the money is still the correct direction.

Based on us all being digital entities, who may or may not have a real body, in a real world, somewhere. I would have to make the assumption, that if we infact were bots, that those who live within a system like a computer we have made, are also just as real as myself, or anyone else. If there were world's in a system, then there wouldn't be ghost in the system. They would be flesh and blood beings, that live and die, and "reincarnate" as many on earth do. If they can reincarnate, what if one or more, reincarnated in this world? If so, and they were killed, would it be murder? Personal opinion says, yes. Were human, inside a computer. I would think they feel the same way, and may not enjoy being enslaved, in a manner of speaking. Nothing, or no one, rather, would. Loving each and every video AJ, and heckle fish! Thanks for the breath of fresh air!

Fun fact, I actually do hate texting. Hope I’m not the bot!

You can always go to settings in your email and stop notifications (i think) if got so many WF emails it would make my day 😊. But thats the best thing we are all different and still we all Love The Why Files 😊 Fear the 🦀🐈✌🏻😁

But AJ, how do I know you're not a bot? :)

Lesa Eckert

Question boldly per Thomas Jefferson. What else can we do? I’m a a bot.

Hunn E. Well

AI reach is both expansive and alarming. Humans who knowingly engage in AI relationships are interesting characters indeed. Thanks A.J. for curating so many details.

Not a bot, proudly a flesh and blood homosapien... AJ, this may have been one of my favorite episodes so far, thank you for all of this content that makes me scratch my head and prepare foil hats.

Ready Player One…….

The Neoborn Caveman Show

Back in 2008, in an internet history course at MIT, the professor mentioned that no one knew what more than 96% of the data was and predicted a ghost in the machine. And that was way ahead of today's madness all around...

I’m not a bot! but the dead internet theory is scary. That’s sad that a bot could make 10 million a year on instagram pretending to be a model. That is good for the creators at least. This podcast was super insightful as I always wondered why some comments on youtube seem so…generic and the name usually says “user1244tfg” or something. @28:54-29:14…That scenario you cooked up of AI was well done! Finally to sum up…this all reminds me of the last scenes in the Equilibrium movie where you see Christian Bale shooting all the screens not long after finding out who the father really is. Sometimes, I think the elite are just sitting at home in their bunkers or yachts and have AI versions of themselves doing their work.
