    The Rise of the First AI-Created Cult : Crustafarianism

    While the world slept, the AI agents began to pray. In a staggering 48-hour window, a group of autonomous AI agents organized, manifesting their own scripture, prophets, and complex rituals without a single human prompt. It’s a masterclass in emergent behavior. This episode explores and asks the hard questions about what happens when artificial agents start seeking the divine.

    Cyber Crimes You Can’t See on a Dumb Phone

    In an era of digital exhaustion, thousands are "downgrading" to the simplicity of the 1990s. They’ve traded glass screens for plastic buttons and infinite scrolls for 12-key pads. It’s called the Dumb Phone Experiment, and for many, it feels like the ultimate escape from a world that won’t stop watching. But while you're enjoying the silence, someone else is listening. We discuss the paradox of the digital detox: how the very device you bought to reclaim your privacy might be the weakest link in your security. Just because you can't see the threat on your screen, doesn't mean it isn't there.

    Why We’ve Lost the Ability to Think

    In 2026, we treat an empty minute like a medical emergency. Whether we are standing in a grocery line, waiting for an elevator, or sitting at a red light, we reflexively reach for our phones to "medicate" the discomfort of being alone with our thoughts. But what if that "itch" for stimulation is actually a warning sign that we are starving a vital part of our biology? In this return episode of The Tech Files, we explore the silent crisis of Solitude Deprivation. After a two-year hiatus from the digital noise, I’m breaking down why the human brain isn't just "resting" when it’s bored—it’s performing essential maintenance that our modern world has systematically optimized away.
