    DUBCAST #74: Strip-Mining Human Knowledge: AI and the Greatest Giveaway in History

    Send us a text In this episode, Dubside steps away from kayaks and Greenland to tackle one of the most consequential questions of our time: artificial intelligence. Using simple but unsettling examples—like exponential growth, folded paper, and doubling pennies—he explores why AI’s impact on humanity will be profoundly counterintuitive and easy to underestimate. From autonomous AI, the Internet as an AI ecosystem, and the impossibility of enforcing ethics or punishment, to environmental costs, religion, theology, and power, Dubside traces a sweeping arc that connects Silicon Valley, colonial history, Indigenous dispossession, and biological vulnerability. Along the way, he asks whether AI represents humanity’s salvation, its undoing, or something even more disturbing—invoking ideas like the Rapture, the Antichrist, and a chilling bargain where convenience is exchanged for control. Referencing cultural voices like Dolly Parton, historical myths, and moral blind spots, this episode is a provocative meditation on exponential change, narrative power, and whether humanity truly understands what it is giving away—for something that seems cheap at first, but doubles every year.

    Exploring Mendocino’s Caves and Cliffs with Skip Pauls

    Send us a text WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE In this episode of The Dubcast with Dubside, Dubside sits down with longtime friend and expedition paddler Skip Pauls on San Juan Island to trace a lifetime of sea kayaking. Skip recalls cutting his teeth on long-distance days along the New England shoreline—circumnavigating Cape Ann, crossing from Plymouth to Provincetown, and threading the islands of Maine—before discovering the raw, three-dimensional coastline of Mendocino, California. From solo explorations of unmapped sea caves and surge channels to bull kelp forests, abalone divers, near-misses in rock gardens, and an unforgettable close encounter with a gray whale in stormy seas, Skip paints a vivid portrait of what it means to really know a coastline. Along the way he reflects on mentors, boat choice, safety, and the unique headspace required to paddle big water day after day.

    A Kayak Left on the Rack: Tim Gallaway’s Greenland

    Send us a text WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE Before the conversation turns to Tim Gallaway’s Greenland adventures, Andrew and Dubside open the episode with a wide-ranging, characteristically candid check-in on everything surrounding the upcoming Greenland National Kayaking Championships. Tim Gallaway returns to The Dubcast with Dubside to relive his 2018 trip to Greenland—and to offer a reality-check (and a boost of encouragement) for anyone thinking about heading to Nuuk to compete. Tim walks Dubside through the whole arc: flight delays and fog diversions, hauling a cut-up skin-on-frame kayak through airports, and the gamble of arriving early enough to rebuild and skin it in the clubhouse. Along the way he shares the unlikely housing luck that made his trip possible, what daily life felt like inside a local home, and the practical rhythm of getting around Nuuk on foot, by bus, and with a backpack full of “just in case” layers. From there it’s straight into the competition: the short race, rolling—solo and team—harpoon throwing, and the ropes event inside the gym, where the energy of the crowd can turn a single feat into a full-on eruption. Tim also talks food (seal stew, musk ox, and humpback whale), ice-cold glacier water, long golden-hour nights, and post-event hikes. The conversation closes with Tim’s reflections on why Greenland still calls him back—not just for competition, but for a true expedition.
