From the publisher

They Might Be Self-Aware is a show about what it actually feels like to live through the AI revolution. Not from a safe distance. From inside the collision. Hunter Powers and Daniel Bishop host. Gary produces, from a payphone, for reasons he'd rather not discuss. The format is the thesis: AI cast members, unscripted machine interactions, and a deliberate refusal to always tell you which voice in the room is human. Every Tuesday, the Doomsday Clock moves. Every episode, the blur between human and AI gets a little harder to see. The show has been called "Rolling Stone for the AI era," which we didn't say first but we're not correcting. New episodes Monday + Thursday. theblur.ai
