What happens when powerful AI systems move faster than our ability to understand, secure, or trust them?

In this episode of Dylan Curious, we explore a series of stories that reveal the cracks forming beneath the AI boom—from a billion-dollar legal AI tool exposing over 100,000 confidential files, to robots being treated more aggressively than we’re comfortable admitting, to algorithms quietly shaping our choices while convincing us we’re still in control.

We dig into whether today’s AI is actually intelligent or just highly specialized pattern-matching, why Microsoft and Google are chasing AGI with radically different philosophies, and how even advanced medical AI can hallucinate things confidently enough to fool experts.

Along the way, we ask bigger questions:
Is trust eroding faster than technology can rebuild it?
Are humans adapting to machines—or behaving worse because of them?
And if the universe itself has a kind of underlying structure or “source code,” what does that say about intelligence, control, and responsibility?

Curious, critical, and a little uncomfortable—this one’s about AI, algorithms, and the choices we’re making right now.
