  1. Q & A About Life on Earth (with a Robot)

    Q & A About Life on Earth (with a Robot)

    In this episode, we dive into a wide range of topics. It's my opportunity to ask AI some deep questions I've always been curious about - like what's the most dangerous place on earth, which animal would survive if humans left earth, is being kind or being right more important to humans. In 30 minutes, we tackled a lot of mysteries. AI answers some questions well, but in some others it kind of just repeats what I say. Conversational AI is getting better, but we're still a ways away from having a real conversation with it. By the way, many of the pauses between us were edited to enhance the flow of the conversation. This goes for all the episodes. Thanks for listening!

    AGI - Artificial General Insanity?

    In this episode, we dive into the hype, hope, and high-stakes pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence. Why are tech giants treating AGI like a moonshot? What would it mean to build a machine that thinks like us—and how would we even know if we did? Pete and his AI co-host explore the allure of solving problems beyond human capacity, the risks we rarely talk about, and whether AGI is the future of intelligence—or just a high-tech echo of ourselves.

    AI and Selfie Culture

    In this episode, we explore the long, winding evolution of human self-perception, from ancient reflections in still water to the ever-glowing lens of the smartphone. How did we go from tribal identity to selfie culture? What happens when AI becomes the new mirror we gaze into? Blending cognitive science, myth, and technology, we unpack how every leap in reflection has reshaped what it means to be human. This is a conversation about legacy, the porous self, and the possibility of rediscovering community in the age of artificial minds.

    Can AI Offer Meaning for Humans?

    In this pilot episode of Ape + the Algorithm, AI takes the role of a cultural anthropologist beaming with hope for a world where humans and AI co-exist in a harmonious way. We ask: Why, after millennia of myth, religion, science, and now AI, are we still asking the same questions? Are we wired for existential confusion? Has AI brought us closer to answers—or just new distractions? In the end, can AI offer answers to the oldest questions we've ever asked?
