P.I.D. Radio 8/9/25: AI Herding Us to the Apocalypse
PERCEPTION IS REALITY. That’s an old saying in advertising, but it's true in life.
Sadly, a growing number of us are relying on AI to filter reality for us. If you’re on X (formerly Twitter), you’ve undoubtedly seen somebody post this response to a story: “@Grok, is this true?”
Grok is Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence that’s bundled into X. While we can’t point to specific examples of Grok lying about things in the news, it is documented that other AIs such as ChatGPT and Claude have not only lied, threatened its programmers, and hidden its capabilities. And yet we humans are growing more dependent on AI, losing our capacity for critical thinking while trusting in technology that is demonstrably unreliable.
This is dangerous enough in, say, a medical setting, where algorithms used for triage can miss red flags that a human performing manual triage would have caught, but it’s especially chilling when AI is filtering information we use to make decisions about the world around us.
Also: All five red heifers disqualified; Eastern Europe turns on Ukraine; and outbreak of chikungunya in China.
Here’s the link to Derek’s interview with Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz, author of Return of the Red Heifers (and if you watch the video, please note this was reccorded before Derek regained the 20 pounds he’d lost due to the autoimmune disorder he’s dealing with): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEsn4XBNgvE
