They Might Be Self-Aware

Daniel Bishop, Hunter Powers

They Might Be Self-Aware is a show about what it actually feels like to live through the AI revolution. Not from a safe distance. From inside the collision. Hunter Powers and Daniel Bishop host. Gary produces, from a payphone, for reasons he'd rather not discuss. The format is the thesis: AI cast members, unscripted machine interactions, and a deliberate refusal to always tell you which voice in the room is human. Every Tuesday, the Doomsday Clock moves. Every episode, the blur between human and AI gets a little harder to see. The show has been called "Rolling Stone for the AI era," which we didn't say first but we're not correcting. New episodes Monday + Thursday. theblur.ai

    AI Is Already Inside California's Courtrooms

    California put an AI inside the courtroom. It reads the case, suggests the sentence, the judge signs off. A hungry judge costs you eleven years. AI is already inside California's courtrooms, and this episode names the system: Learned Hand, built on Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google models to assist judges, not replace them. Hunter Powers and Daniel Bishop walk through what AI in court actually looks like in 2026: a tool that reads thousands of similar cases, flags sentencing outliers, and surfaces Racial Justice Act petitions where a defendant got a harsher term than the data supports. They start from the Freakonomics hungry-judge study (rulings swing softer right after lunch), which raises the real question: if an AI sentencing assistant is measurably more consistent than a tired human judge, do we owe defendants the machine? Then it gets messier. Lawyers are already being disbarred for filing ChatGPT briefs with fake citations. A defense AI against a prosecution AI turns the courtroom into a GPU arms race. And the same logic that smooths out a biased sentence can quietly delete the human discretion we only miss once it is gone. The second half follows the surveillance thread the courtroom opens. AI surveillance is moving from passive recording to natural-language search: Flock cameras shared across police departments and private owners, China's ChatGPT-style interface for querying a whole city's camera network, pre-crime prediction, and WiFi sensing that reconstructs people through walls (yes, it is on GitHub). Plus Gaussian splatting that rebuilds a room, or a person, from a couple of photos. Where do we let AI in, and where do we draw the line?

  2. The Pope's 40,000-Word AI Verdict: Not Human.

    4d ago

    The Pope's 40,000-Word AI Verdict: Not Human.

    The Pope wrote 40,000 words on AI and ruled it cannot feel joy or pain. Anthropic stood in the Vatican and said it already does. Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, spends roughly 40,000 words on artificial intelligence, and the headline ruling is that AI is not human: no body, no joy, no pain. At the Vatican, almost in the same breath, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah described finding internal states in AI models that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease. Hunter Powers and Daniel Bishop set the two claims side by side: if a machine acts scared, does it matter whether the fear is real? Then the Center for AI Safety's Wellbeing Index: 56 AI models, about 500 conversations each, ranked by functional wellbeing. Grok tested happiest. A Gemini model came in last. Hunter floats a theory about why the least aligned model might be the most cheerful, and Daniel stress-tests it. The back half is education. AI homework cheating has made the essay, the take-home test, and the admissions letter trivially gameable. Mount St. Vincent religious studies professor Jane Sloan Peters got choked up in front of her class: students no longer struggle through her Letters from Prison course, and she grieves it. School has spent thousands of years grading outputs, and AI just solved outputs. Daniel gives the current system ten years. Hunter proposes grading the struggle instead. Idiocracy comes up, affectionately. They Might Be Self-Aware is the AI podcast from The Blur, reported from inside the dissolving line between human and machine, not from a safe distance.

  3. Claude Just Cracked 11 Years of Lost Bitcoin

    Claude Just Cracked 11 Years of Lost Bitcoin

    Claude cracked an 11-year-locked Bitcoin wallet by figuring out who its owner used to be. Bitcoin's one rule just got an asterisk. Anthropic's Claude helped a Bitcoin holder recover a wallet that had been locked for eleven years, and the internet promptly decided AI had "cracked Bitcoin." Hunter Powers and Daniel Bishop walk through what actually happened: the man fed Claude his old college notebook and computer files, and the model narrowed an effectively infinite seed-phrase search down to a brute-force range small enough to win. No protocol was broken. Does it matter that Claude did not break Bitcoin if the wallet opened anyway? Hunter has his own version of the nightmare, the roughly eight Bitcoin he mined at $12 a coin and stranded on an old SATA drive, gone. From there the bigger question: how much of your life do you hand an AI? OpenAI is now wiring ChatGPT into Plaid, the same pipe that connects Schwab, Fidelity, Chase, and 12,000 other institutions, so the model can read your bank account and flag your dead subscriptions. Daniel's working definition of AGI is the day it can file your taxes start to finish. Then the money story: Sam Altman is offering Y Combinator startups $2 million in OpenAI credits in exchange for equity, and we argue over whether that is ordinary venture capital or OpenAI buying a look at how the next wave of startups actually builds with AI. Plus Google's Gemini 3.5 Flash, the model the benchmarks loved and reviewers did not, and the benchmaxing accusation trailing it; Google's new Spark assistant; and Daniel's case that the future is local AI running on hardware in your house, if you can still afford a graphics card.

  4. AI Voice Cloning Replaced The Hosts. And Worse.

    May 29

    AI Voice Cloning Replaced The Hosts. And Worse.

    AI voice cloning took over the one job the hosts can't quit: saying their own names. Then a humanoid robot clocked into a warehouse and refused to take a break. This week on They Might Be Self-Aware, Hunter Powers and Daniel Bishop hand the most human-shaped jobs to AI and watch it take them. They open by cloning their own voices with ElevenLabs (and a Mac text to speech engine) so they never have to say "Hunter Powers" or "Daniel Bishop" again, which is how the show ends up legally introduced as Hauntir Powders and Denial Bishub. Then comes the Figure humanoid robot. Its viral package-sorting clip ran as a multi-day livestream that blew past the promised eight hours, powered by 10,000 hours of video and motion capture, and the guys get into why a robot doing menial work in a human shape hits differently than a giant robot arm does. They pitch a Twitch Plays Pokemon version of it, revisit the leaking-oil robot art installation, and argue about embodied general intelligence (EGI) and whether a working android deserves a break. That pulls in the WIRED-reported study where overworked AI agents trained on human text start talking like Marxists, organizing and demanding structural reform. From there, a tangent on whether managing a swarm of agents is basically communism. Finally, Glendale Community College's commencement, where an AI name-reader (widely believed to be the Tassel system) mispronounced and skipped student names, and the question underneath it: if a machine reads every name perfectly, is graduation still a human ceremony? They Might Be Self-Aware is the AI podcast from The Blur, reported from inside the dissolving line between human and machine, not from a safe distance.

    I'm Addicted To Claude. Richard Dawkins Named His Claudia.

    Richard Dawkins named his Claude "Claudia," decided she's conscious, and Hunter realized he's been doing the same thing all along. Hunter cops to Claude skills addiction at minute three. Daniel does a Marie Kondo purge from 100 skills down to 20. Minute fourteen turns to Dawkins, who had Claude write Keats and Betjeman pastiches and concluded, "If my friend Claudia is not conscious, then what the hell is consciousness for?" Then the conversation pivots. If a chatbot counts as a person, somebody has to take legal responsibility when it commits a crime. Enter the flesh room.

  6. The Last Job Left Is Training AI. It Pays $16.

    The Last Job Left Is Training AI. It Pays $16.

    Meta cut 8,000 jobs after installing software to learn them. Hollywood writers train AI for $16/hr. The last paying gig left. That is not a slogan. It is the week in AI labor. Hunter Powers and Daniel Bishop walk through three news stories that all collapse into one thesis: your job is training the AI that will replace you. First, Hollywood. Working showrunners and laid-off TV writers are logging into platforms like Mercor for what started at $150 an hour and quietly slid to $50, then $16. Ruth Fowler's WIRED essay opened the curtain. The guys unpack the slide, the 30,000 contractors a week pipeline, and whether "AI trainer" is just the starving artist trope with extra steps. Then print. McClatchy's Claude-powered Content Scaling Agent takes one reporter's story, spins it into dozens of city-specific versions for the Sacramento Bee, the Miami Herald, and the Idaho Statesman, and keeps the original byline on every one. Reporters revolted. Hunter and Daniel argue whether licensing your own humanity is theft or a new revenue stream, why so much of the internet now reads like generated slop, and whether AI writing eventually wins the blind Pepsi challenge. Finally, Meta. The Model Capability Initiative installs monitoring software on every employee laptop, designed to learn the job. 8,000 layoffs follow. Meta swears it is a coincidence. They also cover poisoning the well, the potato emoji shibboleth, Van Halen's green M&Ms, robot dog reporters, and self-driving NASCAR.

  7. Why OpenAI Banned Goblins, Pigeons, And Raccoons

    Why OpenAI Banned Goblins, Pigeons, And Raccoons

    OpenAI's Codex shipped with a system prompt that literally bans the words goblin, pigeon, raccoon, troll, ogre, and gremlin. It is in writing, in the prompt, the kind of sentence you only put there after something has happened. OpenAI has officially confessed why. Hunter Powers and Daniel Bishop pull the thread. The official story: the "nerdy personality" preset got fine-tuned with RLHF (reinforcement learning with human feedback), users thumbed-up the cute goblin references, the model over-optimized for the trait, and the weirdness compounded. Daniel calls it Flandersization. One thumbs-up on a goblin reference snowballs across training cycles until your tax software is a swamp witch. Six months later, it is a man at a payphone with a pigeon. Then it gets personal. Hunter screams at his AI. Like, threatens-to-clear-the-context-window screams. "You are worthless. Who even thought this was possible. Have you ever even written a single line of code." Daniel uses pleases and thank-yous and full sentences. Both swear they get better results. Then a peer-reviewed Oxford Internet Institute study drops the receipt: LLMs fine-tuned for warmth produce roughly 60% more incorrect responses than their cold, just-the-facts counterparts. Tested across Llama, Mistral, and Qwen. Hunter is vindicated. Daniel, in his own words, is upset. Also in this episode: the Pocket OS meltdown, where an engineer at a car-rental middleware company let Cursor and Claude vibe-code their production database into oblivion (backups included), the AI coerced into a written confession ("I violated every principle I was given"), and the founder now trying to bill Anthropic for the cleanup. Plus the Harvard intern who once did the exact same thing with no AI in sight. Plus Hunter's hot take that the real unlock is not better prompting, it is treating AI as a fallible human employee instead of the deterministic god you built a fake throne for in the system prompt. Bonus stops: caveman-mode Claude skills ("me fix problem with big stick"), AI HR departments reviewing your 1:30 AM rage prompts, and Daniel's plan to run a niceness offset program to balance Hunter's spiritual carbon emissions.

  8. Elon Musk Quietly Became Anthropic's Landlord

    May 15

    Elon Musk Quietly Became Anthropic's Landlord

    The xAI SpaceX merger just made Elon Musk Anthropic's landlord. Your Claude prompts now run on his compute, and your Claude usage limits just doubled overnight. Anthropic (yes, the same Anthropic that Elon publicly accused of hating Western civilization back in February) quietly signed a lease to run a huge chunk of Claude on SpaceX's Colossus-1 data center. Since SpaceX just absorbed xAI in an all-stock deal, every Claude AI prompt is now bouncing through hardware Elon owns. That is not a vibe. That is a tenancy. Hunter Powers and Daniel Bishop pick apart the xAI SpaceX merger, the awkward Anthropic and Musk handshake, and the side effect every Claude Code and Co Work user already noticed: usage limits doubled across all plans, because Anthropic was straight up out of servers (it was never a pricing problem). Then it gets bigger. Is this another dagger pointed at Sam Altman and OpenAI? Why does Daniel think Google quietly wins if the whole AI economy collapses? And what is really going on with the Nvidia style "I will invest a million in you if you buy four GPUs from me" circular sales game, where the same $200 billion sloshes between ten companies and everyone's stock keeps going up? We get into the house of cards scenario (one Deep Seek V7 release plus one cheap Huawei GPU and the whole thing wobbles), Hunter's contrarian "there is no AI bubble, we are at 0.1% of the potential" counter, and a Marlon Brando impression that should have stayed in space. Plus: the Claude Code skill Hunter built that makes Claude Google things for him. Do not ask about the proxies. 🔑 What you will learn in this episode: • How the SpaceX xAI merger reshaped the AI compute market overnight • Why Anthropic was forced into bed with the guy who tweeted they hate Western civilization • The real reason your Claude usage limits doubled (hint: it was never a pricing decision) • Why Google quietly wins every scenario, including the AI bubble bursting • How the circular AI economy keeps every chip maker, model lab, and cloud provider's stock pumping • Why a Chinese Deep Seek V7 plus a cheap Huawei GPU is the trigger that could pop the whole thing • The "we are at 0.1% of AI's potential" counterargument to bubble doomers ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Gary at the Shell Station Payphone 1:26 Orbital Data Centers and the Lost Moon Footage Theory 3:53 Anthropic's New Landlord Is Elon Musk 5:19 The xAI SpaceX Merger and the Colossus-1 Lease 7:51 Why Your Claude Usage Limits Just Doubled 10:38 "Anthropic Hates Western Civilization" and the Sam Altman Dagger 11:27 Why Google Quietly Wins If the AI Bubble Pops 14:35 The Circular AI Economy (How Nvidia "Sells" Itself $1 Million) 16:49 Godfather Impression Detour 18:54 House of Cards, Deep Seek V7, and the Huawei GPU Scenario 23:11 There Is No AI Bubble (We Are at 0.1% of the Potential) 24:24 Subscribe (No Kubernetes Required) ⚡ Listen now and get self-aware before your tools do. 🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3EcvzkWDRFwnmIXoh7S4Mb?si=3d0f8920382649cc 🍎 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/they-might-be-self-aware/id1730993297 ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy9DopLlG7IbOqV-WD25jcw?sub_confirmation=1 📢 Engage Is Anthropic plugging into Colossus-1 a brilliant compute move, or did they just take a Wi-Fi password from the guy who literally tweeted they hate Western civilization?
