S2 Ep 20//Humanity
EIn tonight's episode, we discuss some of the terrifying developments that have happened in the last few weeks and months with AI Agents. OpenClaw has hit the scene and is one of the most terrifying things to come out of China.Sadly, we dealt with some audio issues on this one, Gibles lost his mic early on, and we had to pull the audio from the stream, which, thankfully we had, so it isn't the best sounding episode, but it's there.

S2 Ep 19The Dark Side of Science
ETonight we’re going deep into the official U.S. Government records of the Patent Vault, where inventors, and even the military, get legal protection for some of the wildest, darkest ideas imaginable. We’re not talking unfiled mad-scientist notes. These are granted patents with numbers you can Google right now on patents.google.com. Many of these read like they were ripped straight from a conspiracy forum: remote mind control, voices beamed into your skull, weather as a weapon, hidden signals in your TV and phone.This one is a little out there, and coming from us, that's saying something.The Patent Numbers referenced in this Episode - US4686605A, US6506148B2, US5159703A, US3951134A, US6470214B1, US6587729B2, US6011991A, US6017302A, US6238333B1, US4616261A, US6091994A, US5123899A, US4395600A, US7784390B1, US9504419B2, US7490538B2. From the Honorable mention list - US3335A, US3216423A, US1749090A, US6293874B1, US4344424A. The Victorian Anti-Self "use" items were scattered around under various numbers so a generalized reference was used. Join in on the Discussion via our Discord - https://discord.gg/JMTPN2MwQQ

S2 Ep 17The Hands-On Gap & The Fragile Illusion of Ownership
