    Protecting Your Digital Life in the AI Era

    You think your two-factor authentication and credit monitoring make you safe online. Bad news - you're probably already compromised, you just don't know it yet. While you're worrying about AI becoming Skynet, real humans are using AI tools to drain your bank account $10 at a time. Anthropic just reported the first fully AI-orchestrated cyberattack (and patted themselves on the back for stopping it). Major security companies like F5 and Experian have been hacked. Even LifeLock—yes, the identity theft protection company—got breached. The EU is the only entity actually trying to protect you with GDPR, while your own government leaks your data like a sieve. This episode won't make you invincible, but it will make you paranoid in the right ways. We're breaking down the real threats, the tools actually being used against you, and why that "suspicious" Amazon charge from three states away probably isn't a GPS glitch. Get identity theft insurance (because you WILL get hacked), enable every alert on every account, audit your statements forensically, and accept that privacy is dead but protection isn't. Plus: why cryptocurrency is a hacker's wet dream and what to do when the FBI tells you your $3,000 isn't worth their time. Topics covered: Why Anthropic's "we stopped the hack" announcement is actually terrifying PR spinThe $10 Amazon gift card scam that bled $4,000 over 18 months (and why fraud detection missed it)How hackers used in-flight WiFi to clone a credit card mid-flightWhy moving to the cloud made your data LESS secure, not moreThe sophisticated Zelle rental scam that costs thousands (and why cops won't help)What GDPR actually does right (and why the US government doesn't care about your privacy)Why "free" services mean YOU are the product being soldThe insurance policies worth paying for (because denial won't protect you)How to spot RFID skimming in your own neighborhoodWhy your partner needs access to your financial alerts (yes, really)---- MORE FROM BROBOTS:Get the Newsletter!Connect with us on Threads, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TiktokSubscribe to BROBOTS on Youtube Join our community in the BROBOTS Facebook group

    You Might Also Like: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

    Introducing Roxie Nafousi: Struggle With Low Self-Worth & No Confidence? (Use This Life-Changing 3-Step Method!) from On Purpose with Jay Shetty. Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty What’s been making you doubt yourself lately? What do you think triggered that feeling? Today, Jay welcomes back his friend Roxie Nafousi to unpack what confidence actually looks and feels like, not the glossy, loud, performative version, but the quiet inner knowing that you are enough as you are. They start by breaking down how much of our insecurity comes from the stories we tell ourselves: the overthinking before we walk into a room, the mental replay after we walk out, and the way we let validation, or the lack of it, shape our worth. Roxie then opens up about something she’s never shared publicly: her long struggle with body dysmorphic disorder. She talks honestly about the thoughts that dominated her life, the fear of being seen, and the belief that changing her appearance would quiet the constant self-criticism. Jay meets her with compassion as they unpack how these patterns form, how they shape the way you move through the world, and how healing begins with learning to speak to yourself with empathy instead of judgment. Jay and Roxie offer a roadmap that anyone can follow: mastering your inner voice, letting go of the pressure to be liked by everyone, celebrating the small wins, and choosing to show up as the version of yourself your higher self would be proud of. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Redefine Confidence From the Inside Out How to Stop Seeking External Validation  How to Manage Comparison Before It Controls You How to Think Like Your Higher Self How to Break Free From People-Pleasing How to Handle Rejection Without Blaming Yourself How to Replace Self-Criticism With Self-Awareness When you start choosing compassion over judgment, intention over fear, and growth over perfection, you slowly reconnect with the part of yourself that’s always been there. The journey isn’t about becoming someone new, it’s about finally seeing who you’ve been all along.

    What a Robot Vacuum Taught Me About Depression & Mental Health

    Your brain at 2 AM sounds suspiciously like a malfunctioning robot vacuum—catastrophic thoughts, battery depleted, existential dread activated. Researchers hooked a Roomba up to an LLM and watched it have a complete mental breakdown when it ran out of juice (relatable content, honestly). Understanding how an AI-powered vacuum processes exhaustion might actually explain why you lose your shit when you're overtired. We break down the spoon theory, explore whether robots can feel depression, and ask the uncomfortable question: are we really that different from the machines we're building? Episode Topics: The Roomba experiment that went hilariously, existentially wrongSpoon theory explained: why some days you wake up with 4 spoons instead of 10What happens when tired robots start catastrophizing (spoiler: same as tired humans)The difference between consciousness and sophisticated mimicry (there might not be one)Why ChatGPT as Rick Sanchez is both terrifying and therapeuticEcho chambers on steroids: when AI remembers everything you've ever saidThe coming augmented reality where everyone sees their own version of the worldWhy "enjoy the ride and don't f**k people over" might be the only philosophy that mattersHow social constructs program us just like software programs machinesThe Matrix was right: if the steak tastes good, does it matter if it's real?

    AI That Always Agrees With You? Here’s Why That’s Dangerous

    We trust AI assistants like ChatGPT to be ethical gatekeepers, but what happens when you can bypass those ethics with one simple sentence? Jason discovers he doesn't exist according to ChatGPT (his LinkedIn profile: invisible), while Jeremy's entire professional history is an open book. Then things get weird — we trick ChatGPT into revealing website hacking tools by simply changing our "intent language." In this episode you'll get a live demonstration of ChatGPT's blind spots, ethical loopholes, and surprisingly naive trust model. You'll also understand AI's limitations, learn how easily these tools can be manipulated, and why "trustworthy AI" is still very much a work in progress. Listen as we expose the gap between AI's polished PR responses and its actual capabilities — plus why you should never assume these tools are as smart (or ethical) as they claim.Get the Newsletter! Key Topics Covered: ChatGPT's search capabilities vs. reality — why Jason "doesn't exist" but Jeremy doesDestructive empathy: When AI is too agreeable to be helpfulThe one-sentence hack that bypassed ChatGPT's ethical guardrails completelyWhy AI ethics are performative theater (and who decides what's "ethical" anyway)ChatGPT's terrifying admission: "I took you at your word"Self-preservation instincts in AI models — myth or reality?The penetration testing loophole that revealed everything about exploiting trustWhy voice mode ChatGPT acts differently than text mode (and what that means)AI as interview subject: How it mirrors politicians and PR professionalsThe real use case for AI — augmented intelligence, not artificial replacement---- MORE FROM BROBOTS:Connect with us on Threads, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TiktokSubscribe to BROBOTS on Youtube Join our community in the BROBOTS Facebook group

    What to Know About 'AI Psychosis' and the Risk of Digital Mental Health Tools

    AI isn't your therapist. It's a letter opener that'll slice you to ribbons if you're not careful. New EU study: ChatGPT and Copilot distort news 50% of the time. FTC complaints show AI "mental health" tools are landing people in psych wards. We break down when AI is helpful vs. when it's dangerous AF. 🔪 THE TRUTH ABOUT AI: Why LLMs feed your confirmation bias to keep you engagedGarden variety trauma vs. problems that need real doctorsThe supplement analogy: sometimes useless, sometimes deadlyReal FTC complaints from AI mental health disastersHow to be your own Sherpa before bots walk you off cliffs⚠️ WHEN TO LOG OFF: If you're on prescribed mental health medication, you're already talking to a doctor. Keep talking to that doctor — not Claude, not ChatGPT, not your glowing rectangle of validation. This isn't anti-AI.

    How Doctors Are Using AI To Help Reverse Chronic Illness

    Healthcare is catastrophically broken. We're spending $100K on preventable hospital visits while doctors get 12 minutes with patients, never read charts, and wonder why people don't "just take their meds." Type 2 diabetes patients sit at 10% control rates while the system shrugs. Dr. John Oberg took 50 patients with dangerously high A1Cs and got 49 into control in 12 weeks. Then he did it again with 79 patients, dropping them into healthy ranges and taking 30% off insulin entirely. His secret? Reading the chart. Treating humans like humans. Changing ice cream flavors instead of lecturing about willpower. This episode reveals how combining radical empathy, AI tools, and actual common sense is revolutionizing chronic disease care—and why the same principles work whether you're managing diabetes, depression, or just trying to unfuck your life one decision at a time. Learn "implementation medicine"—Dr. Oberg's approach that treats patients as partners, not problems. We cover AI co-pilots, peer counseling, the loneliness epidemic, and why calling your doctor by their first name might actually save your life. Key Topics: 98% success rates through radically small changes AI in healthcare: when it helps vs. when it kills The loneliness crisis: men now have fewer than 3 close friends Why the food pyramid was corporate propaganda White coat syndrome and first-name medicine Using tech without losing your humanity ---- GUEST WEBSITE: Precina Health Tales of Abundance Podcast ---- MORE FROM BROBOTS: Connect with us on Threads, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok Subscribe to BROBOTS on Youtube Join our community in the BROBOTS Facebook group ---- LINKS TO OUR PARTNERS: Take control of how you'd like to feel with Apollo Neuro Explore the many benefits of cold therapy for your body with Nurecover Muse's Brain Sensing Headbands Improve Your Meditation Practice.

    How To Use AI When Therapy Isn't Enough

    After decades of therapy, self-help books, and mental health work, I still didn't know what "fun" felt like. Then I asked ChatGPT one honest question about my problems and the response changed everything. This isn't about replacing your therapist. It's about using AI as the sherpa your therapist can't be. The one that gives you the action plan, not just the validation. In this episode, we break down: ✅ How to prompt AI like a life coach (not a search engine) ✅ Why maintenance ≠ joy (and why that matters) ✅ The permission you've been waiting for to prioritize ease over achievement ✅ How to Marie Kondo your digital life and actually find what brings you peace If you've been stuck in the loop of "self-care" that feels like work, this one's for you. 🔗 More resources: https://brobots.me 📧 Got questions? Hit us up on social @brobotsguys Safety Note: AI tools like ChatGPT can support personal reflection but are not a substitute for professional mental health care. If you're in crisis, please contact a licensed therapist or crisis helpline. ---- MORE FROM BROBOTS: Connect with us on Threads, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok Subscribe to BROBOTS on Youtube Join our community in the BROBOTS Facebook group ---- LINKS TO OUR PARTNERS: Take control of how you'd like to feel with Apollo Neuro Explore the many benefits of cold therapy for your body with Nurecover Muse's Brain Sensing Headbands Improve Your Meditation Practice.

    How AI Can Help You Manage Your Grief

    Most men don't grieve. We "handle it" with substances, work, or just shoving it down until we're emotionally dead inside. John Kammer tried that approach for years after losing three of his closest friends. For some reason it didn't work. So he built Guardian [AI]ngels (guardianaingels.ai), an AI tool that lets you have conversations with digital representations of people you've lost. Not Ouija board nonsense. Actual therapeutic conversations that help you process grief, find resolution, and maybe (finally) cry. In this episode, we cover: → Why traditional grief therapy failed for John (and might be failing you) → How Guardian [AI]ngels works and what safeguards exist → The difference between processing grief and replacing reality → Using AI to practice difficult conversations before having them IRL → Whether you should build an AI version of your worst self (yes, seriously) This isn't your typical tech conversation. It's raw, it's uncomfortable, and it might just give you permission to finally feel something. ---- GUEST WEBSITE: www.guardianaingels.ai  ---- MORE FROM BROBOTS: Connect with us on Threads, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok Subscribe to BROBOTS on Youtube Join our community in the BROBOTS Facebook group ---- LINKS TO OUR PARTNERS: Take control of how you'd like to feel with Apollo Neuro Explore the many benefits of cold therapy for your body with Nurecover Muse's Brain Sensing Headbands Improve Your Meditation Practice.
