Tonight on CEP!
- I've been saying that AI could possibly ruin the world - but at the very least, it'll make us dumber and keep us isolated in pods, feeding us data and harvesting our behavior.
- Network engineer turned author Monty LeBlanc joins us to explain how AI is already in control, doing just this.
- He explains how those algorithms, the curated "For You" recommendations, and your Facebook feed, are all DESIGNED to keep you reading, watching, and scrolling.
- He exposes how shadow banning works, and how we're already in the Matrix, except in reality we each get our own algorithmic simulation.
- The few techies who are aware of the impending threats are too scared to say something, lest they lose their job. However, he and I and maybe some of you, are exposing what's going on.
- He uses humor, snark, and analogies to explain everything in Plain English (sound familiar?) and even gives translations at the end of every section for Gen Z readers!
