A curious dive into the strangest week in AI, science, and the future of humanity.We explore whether frontier models like Grok, Gemini, and GPT are developing a “survival drive,” why Xpeng revealed a humanoid robot with an unexpected form factor, and how LEGO just dropped the nerdiest starship in history. Plus: manifolds explained simply, aliens who might not “speak physics,” and what economics looks like in a post-capitalist world.
The future of AI isn’t clean, neat, or controlled — it’s messy, biological, self-evolving, and happening faster than we can process.
In this episode, Dylan Curious unpacks:
Why robots are becoming organically weird (wiggly, fleshy, biological)
PewDiePie and the rise of self-hosted AI for the masses
The camera lens that keeps everything in focus at once
Elon Musk’s “Colossus-scale” recommendation engine that reads 100M posts at a time
The shocking psychological data about ChatGPT users
Anthropic’s research showing an AI that can rewrite its own code and “upgrade its own mind”
Google’s plan to build AI datacenters in space
This isn’t just about smarter machines — it’s about who controls intelligence, who owns compute, and what happens when AI becomes self-directed.
If you care about the future, this episode will either excite you… or haunt you.

AI just crossed several lines — robotics, video generation, consciousness, and even the nature of reality itself.
In this episode, Dylan explores:
A real-life AI-powered crawling robot that terrified an entire neighborhood on Halloween
Adobe’s new “Frame Forward” technology that lets you edit a single frame and apply it to an entire video
Google’s quiet domination in AI: chips, compute, models, distribution — the whole stack
The surprising space-origin of loss functions in machine learning
Whether consciousness is the ultimate emergent property — beyond math, beyond physics
A new open-source video model generating coherent long-form narratives
And finally: the simulation hypothesis may have been mathematically disproven
This is a rapid-fire journey through frontier tech, curiosity, and existential questions.
If ColdFusion, Veritasium, and Two Minute Papers had a faster, more chaotic baby — this is it.
Keep it Curious
AI is evolving in weird, fascinating ways.
In this episode, we explore some of the strangest developments in tech and science this week:
‣ Anthropic’s research on AI introspection
‣ A drone algorithm that lets fleets carry heavy, shifting payloads
‣ A literary approach that gives LLMs “personalities”
‣ A massive dream database that might help decode consciousness
‣ And yes… a workout cat
This podcast is for curious people who like to wander into the “what if” space — where AI, science, and meaning intersect.
The future is getting weird — and today we’re diving into it.
In this episode of Curious News, we explore whether AI models like Grok can be more truthful than humans, why GTA 6 might have NPCs with full emotional lives, and how a lab accidentally discovered that AI can show signs of risk-taking and addiction.
We also cover:
AI predicting extinction before it happens
Immersive holographic cinema (Holo-Cine)
Robots that can pull cars
A shot that rejuvenates aging skin in mice 🤯
Why some people hear voices (and why that might not be a mental illness)
Plus a 4-way AI personality showdown:
Claude (ethics) vs. OpenAI (efficiency) vs. Gemini (logic) vs. Grok (chaos).
If you're curious about the future of intelligence — this episode is for you.
This episode is a rapid-fire tour through the strangest, most fascinating breakthroughs happening in AI, science, and tech right now.
✔ AI models learning while they sleep ✔ A mathematical equation that may enable limb regeneration ✔ The universe behaving like a self-updating algorithm ✔ Google’s new “Speech-to-Retrieval” model that replaces search ✔ Someone literally built GPT inside Minecraft ✔ Female spies seducing tech workers for secrets ✔ Are algorithms secretly price fixing the economy?
If you like Veritasium, ColdFusion, or Corridor Digital — this is that energy but uncensored and curiosity-driven.
In this episode, Dylan Curious explores three ideas shaping the next era of intelligence.
First, how VR-linked soldiers and drone swarms could form a real-world hive mind. Then, a deep dive into the Holographic Universe theory — what if consciousness itself is a projection? Finally, the hidden secret behind AI progress: maybe we don’t need to train intelligence — we just need to ask it better questions.
Technology, philosophy, and reality itself are beginning to blur.

Welcome to Dylan Curious — where tech, humanity, and the unknown collide.
What does it mean when artificial intelligence can make you feel something real?
In this episode, Dylan Curious explores the strange, emotional frontier between humans and machines — from viral AI avatars that say goodbye like old friends, to synthetic relationships reshaping entire cultures.
We’ll travel through the code and culture behind today’s AI companions — why America is building digital girlfriends while China perfects virtual boyfriends — and what these creations reveal about the societies that build them.
Plus: the science of synthetic data, the thermodynamics of thought, and a look at how intelligence itself might be nature’s final rebellion against entropy.
he weirdest week in AI yet: OpenAI’s gender gap in Sora 2, malicious micro-models that can corrupt your data, a Senate biotech crackdown that could reshape global research, and rumors of Meta’s hidden superintelligence project.
We’ll decode the math that made AI understand, the ethics of AI art addiction, and the terrifyingly creative chaos of vibe coding.
Everything you need to know before the singularity sneaks up on you.
This week, something extraordinary happened. The humanoid robot known as Figure 03 moved from prototype to production — a machine built not just to think, but to feel. With fingertip sensors sensitive enough to detect a paperclip and cameras in its palms, Figure 03 blurs the line between tool and being.
In this episode, Dylan explores what this moment means for all of us — from Walmart’s robotic workforce to the ethics of embodiment, from Sora’s synthetic fame to the way our machines might soon mirror our emotions.
Are we witnessing the week robots officially joined humanity?
What happens when every major AI model—GPT-5, Claude, Gemini—hallucinates the same emoji that doesn’t exist? Dylan dives deep into the strange “Seahorse Emoji” bug that exposes how AIs actually think, plus experiments with Sora’s take on the Trolley Problem, a drone that lands on moving cars, and an AI tool giving blind coders access to 3D modeling. You’ll also hear about GateBleed, the first hardware leak of AI training data, and how America’s relationship with AI is shifting fast. It’s weird, it’s fascinating, and it’s the edge of the singularity in real time.
This week is peak AI slop and we dive straight in. From Dreamer 4 teaching agents to imagine, to Microsoft revealing a biosecurity zero day, to Sora turning social video on its head. We also look at data center blackout fears, China making AI education mandatory, Ring hunting for lost dogs, and why humpback whales might share language laws with us.
Dylan dives into a wild week in AI. Inside Sora’s new social platform and why it might matter more than the model itself. VO3 shows zero shot reasoning across real world tasks. The New York subway ad that tells you to replace your friends and why it works on our psychology. The custom instructions bombshell that tilted a marriage debate. Gen Z’s quiet pivot to AI proof careers. A quick Alzheimer’s study insight on brain lipids and microglia. Plus the cop who could not ticket a driverless car and what that means for robot policing.
From Claude 4.5’s jaw-dropping ability to build full apps without writing a single line of code, to a quantum breakthrough that could connect future computers across today’s internet — this episode dives deep into the frontiers of intelligence and invention. We explore how deepfakes are testing our ethics, why “world models” might be the missing piece of AGI, how AI avatars are breaking into Hollywood, and whether we should use genetic engineering to save entire species.
It’s a tour through the most mind-bending breakthroughs shaping our future — and what they mean for humanity’s place in it.
