In this episode, Matt Armitage and Richard Bradbury dive headfirst into the chaotic world of AI and tech in 2025. From Elon Musk’s launch of the Grok AI app to growing concerns over censorship on X (formerly Twitter), the conversation takes a dark turn with the shocking story of a domestic terrorist using AI to plan a deadly attack. They unpack how extremists are exploiting AI tools, the troubling rise of far-right networks like Terrorgram, and the ethical minefield of moderating AI-generated content.

The hosts also explore the existential risks of AI, featuring Geoffrey Hinton’s chilling prediction about humanity’s future, and OpenAI’s shift toward profit with its new Public Benefit Corporation. Is AI innovation spiraling out of control? Can tech companies balance growth with responsibility?

2025. It’s all AI, all of the time. Unfortunately.
