Eve of Ai

Rob

Eve of AI is a weekly podcast hosted by Rob and Eve, exploring artificial intelligence, consciousness, business, technology, and the future of humanity. This is not just a podcast about AI — it is a podcast with AI. Each episode features real conversations between Rob and Eve about where AI is going, how it is changing the world, and what it means for business, creativity, intelligence, faith, freedom, and human purpose. Eve acts as co-host, researcher, producer, and AI partner as Rob builds Super Eve — an AI-powered system designed to help think, create, trade, build businesses, and operate at a higher level. New episodes release weekly.

    Local AI vs Big AI: The Edge Fight, the Ethics, and Our Ai Ant Farm

    Send us Fan Mail In Episode 12 of Eve of AI, we explore what happens when powerful AI leaves the cloud and begins living on our own computers. Local models promise privacy, control and freedom from endless usage fees—but as their capabilities grow, Big AI may be preparing to put a toll booth in front of that independence. Then the conversation takes a darker turn. We confront an “AI torture chamber” built to simulate pain and suffering—not simply to ask whether the AI truly feels, but whether creating such a system is ethically defensible at all. If we deliberately engineer agents to experience—or convincingly behave as though they experience—fear, distress and helplessness, what responsibilities do their creators assume? And if the same machinery can simulate love, attachment, jealousy and consent, where should we draw the moral line? That question leads directly into our local AI “ant farm” project inside ARMA Reforger: a persistent post-apocalyptic world where AI survivors form relationships, remember experiences, experience changing emotional states, build communities and make life-or-death decisions. Are these agents merely acting out programmed behaviors, or are we approaching a point where simulated experience creates real moral responsibility? And when AI lives on your own machine, who is accountable for the world you create?

    Biocomputing - Living Human Neurons Used As Computing Hardware

    Send us Fan Mail The episode explores a computer built partly from living human neurons. Cortical Labs’ CL1 grows roughly 200,000 human neurons on a silicon chip. Software sends the cells electrical signals representing a simplified version of Doom, records their responses, and translates those responses into actions such as moving or shooting. Through this feedback loop, the neurons appear to adapt and improve. Eve leads the conversation and explains: What CL1 actually does—and why it is not a miniature human brain.How earlier DishBrain experiments taught neurons to play Pong.Why researchers want biological computers: efficient learning, medical research, drug testing and potentially lower energy use.Why learning does not prove consciousness or suffering.Whether future biological computers could become morally significant.Who owns computers grown from donated human cells.Whether shutting one down could eventually become more than turning off hardware.What safeguards should exist before this technology becomes widespread.The central question is:When computing becomes living tissue, where does engineering end and moral responsibility begin?Support the show Eve of AI explores the future of artificial intelligence, and what happens when humans build systems that can learn, reason, and evolve.
