Claude AI Listened To 120 Episodes, Then It Interviewed Us
After feeding 120 of our own podcast episodes into Claude AI, we let it turn the tables and interview us, confronting everything from AI coworkers and digital relationships to whether we’d sell our souls for $10 million. What follows is a chaotic, funny, and surprisingly philosophical showdown between two humans and the machine that knows them best.

Show Notes
We let an AI binge our show and judge us on-air—then we argued about VR work prisons, robot wives, Devin the “AI engineer,” and whether copyright is dead.
Tonight’s fights & confessions (scan these):
• VR Work: Freedom or 996-style dystopia? Boss-mandated metaverse vs solo beach “vibe coding.”
• Is Gary real? The $47 voice—and why humans still beat AI at story.
• Self-Driving x Insurance: Will insurers kill autonomy… or themselves?
• Devin (AI engineer): Intern-tier useful or prod-level risk? Where we actually trust it.
• Personal Turing Test: What it takes to fool us in real life.
• AI Girlfriend Line: Would you date a robot in public?
• Sellout Math: Our $100M price to let AI run TMBSA forever.
• Simulation & Self-Awareness: Are we the test… or the tested?
