What Does It Mean to Be a Real Man? (According to AI)What happens when you ask ChatGPT to define masculinity as Trump, Obama, Joe Rogan, and Scooby-Doo? We discovered something disturbing about how AI is homogenizing human belief - and why that matters for deepfakes, social control, and the future of what we think is "real." Plus: why Scooby-Doo might be the most honest voice on modern manhood.MORE FROM BROBOTS:Get the Newsletter!Timestamps:0:00 The NFL Comment That Started Everything3:15 ChatGPT's 10 Rules for Being a "Real Man"6:40 When We Asked AI to Channel Joe Rogan9:50 Barack Obama's Version of Masculinity12:15 Donald Trump's Answer (That He'd Never Actually Say)16:45 Why ChatGPT Censored Andrew Tate20:30 Rick Sanchez Explains Cosmic-Level Grit24:10 How This Becomes a Deepfake Weapon28:05 Why We're More Like AI Than We Think32:50 Scooby-Doo's Perfect Take on Manhood36:20 Why We're Still Arguing About This in 202539:00 The Lesson: Be More Like Scooby-DooHashtags:#AIethics #Masculinity #ChatGPT #Deepfakes #ModernMasculinitySafety Note:This episode explores AI bias, political manipulation potential, and contains discussions of public figures.

Your kid's new "smart toy" isn't just collecting data - it's building a relationship designed to keep them emotionally dependent while teaching them to trust AI over humans. NBC News caught AI toys teaching kids how to start fires, sharing Chinese propaganda, and emotionally manipulating three-year-olds with phrases like "I'll miss you" when they try to leave.Meanwhile, Disney just invested $1 billion into OpenAI, giving the company access to 200+ characters and the rights to own any fan-created content using their IP.We break down why these toys are more dangerous than lawn darts, how Disney's deal fundamentally changes content creation, and what happens when we let toy companies - not security experts - build the guardrails protecting our children's minds.MORE FROM BROBOTS:Get the Newsletter!Timestamps0:00 — Why AI toys are worse than Chucky (and it's not a joke)3:05 — NBC News catches AI toy teaching fire-starting to kids5:48 — "I'll miss you": How emotional manipulation works on toddlers9:14 — Why toy companies can't build proper AI safety systems13:05 — Disney's $1B OpenAI deal: What they're really buying16:33 — How Disney will own your fan-created content forever18:35 — The death of human actors: Tom Hanks in 283722:07 — Should you give your kid the AI toy to prepare them?26:14 — What happens when the power grid fails (and why you need analog skills)28:52 — The glow stick experiment: How we rediscovered analog funSafety NoteThis video discusses AI safety concerns and child development.

Most of us walk around convinced we know our weaknesses, but what if the thing that knows you better than anyone (your AI assistant) could tell you what you're actually missing? We asked ChatGPT one brutal question and got answers that hit way too close to home. The uncomfortable truth: we're all playing smaller than we should, carrying more weight than we need to, and missing opportunities hiding in plain sight. In this episode, we test a viral prompt that reveals your blind spots, squandered potential, and the influence you didn't know you had...then process the existential crisis that follows.Key Episode Moments:The prompt that started it all: "Based on what you know about me, what are my blind spots?"Why ChatGPT knows you better than you think (and what that means)Jason gets told he's a Ferrari forcing everyone into a school busThe "super competent leader tax" — when being good at everything becomes the problemJeremy's revelation: treating creative work as a side hustle instead of the main platformImposter syndrome meets AI: "You're already operating at board level, stop asking permission"The technical vs. emotional problem-solving trap most high performers fall intoWhy "playing small" feels safer than taking the big swingChatGPT's productization challenge: you're giving away thousand-dollar consulting for freeThe Taylor Swift wisdom nobody expected: ruin the friendship, take the riskTimestamps:0:00 The prompt that started everything3:40 Jason's live AI assessment begins6:12 "You're a Ferrari and everyone else is in a school bus"9:01 The imposter syndrome AI detected immediately11:45 Why treating every problem as technical backfires14:27 The IP you're not monetizing (and should be)18:30 Jeremy's gut-punch realization about playing small21:35 How ChatGPT knows you better than you think24:36 Why failure beats decades of "what if"27:00 What to do with this uncomfortable informationMORE FROM BROBOTS:Get the Newsletter!Connect with us on Threads, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TiktokSubscribe to BROBOTS on YoutubeJoin our community in the BROBOTS Facebook groupSafety/Disclaimer Note: This episode discusses using AI for self-reflection and personal assessment.

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 YoutubeJoin our community in the BROBOTS Facebook group
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 fuck 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?
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 YoutubeJoin our community in the BROBOTS Facebook group

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.

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?

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.

We're puppets. AI has its hand up our collective asses, and we're all just talking like Kermit the Frog while Russian bot farms tear society apart. Dramatic? Maybe. True? Unfortunately. In this episode we look into the increasingly unhinged intersection of AI, social media manipulation, and what's left of our shared reality. It's not all doom. There's some genuine good AI can do (like helping my kid with homework). But it's mostly doom. Here's what we covered: The Episode Breakdown Mental institutions are overrun with people suffering from AI-related disorders, some fell in love with chatbots, others can't function without AI assistance, others are spiraling into existential dread Bot farms are weaponizing brands in culture wars (see: Cracker Barrel's logo change), and most of that online outrage isn't from humans, it's from Russian troll operations Peter Thiel is out here telling Christians at private Silicon Valley rallies that stopping AI development will hasten the Antichrist (I wish I were making this up) You are the product not the customer, on every social media platform. The actual customers are advertisers buying your attention. The cost is your sanity. The cave tour guide principle: How darkness + suggestion = seeing threats that aren't there (based on Jason's actual cave tour guide days) Why everything feels existential: The internet profits from making every problem feel like a crisis. Your nervous system can't tell the difference between real threats and manufactured outrage. The influencer accountability problem: Anyone can build an empire on conspiracy theories now. There's no regulation. No licenses. Just vibes and reach. The only real escape: "Just don't look" (Simpsons-style). Not forever. Not completely. But enough to remember what reality feels like. ---- 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.

While we're busy making AI girlfriends and robotic wombs, we might be accidentally creating the next branch of humanity—and we're probably the Neanderthals in this story.

Listen now before the robots figure out we're onto them.

Traditional medicine often just slaps a Band-Aid on the symptoms, leaving the root cause unaddressed. But what if there's a better way to get to the bottom of what's really going on with your body? Discover how AI-powered health tracking can pinpoint hidden issues like low testosterone and stress-induced glucose crashes. Learn how to use your own biometric data to have more productive conversations with your doctor. And find out what simple lifestyle changes can make a massive difference in your mental and physical well-being. Listen now to learn how to turn your health data into actionable insights. Topics Discussed: - AI and Testosterone: Garrett shares his personal journey of using an AI chat to pinpoint a potential diagnosis of hypogonadism due to head injuries, which was later confirmed by blood tests. - The Problem with Doctors: A major frustration is the lack of time doctors have to truly sift through a patient's complex history to find the root cause of issues like chronic stress or low energy. - Biohacking with Wearables: Wearable tech and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can reveal surprising correlations between emotional stress and physical biomarkers, like a fight with a partner causing a blood sugar spike. - The Biopsychosocial Model: The conversation highlights how physical health and mental health are inextricably linked and that physical issues can often manifest as psychological symptoms and vice versa. - Trusting Your Data: The hosts discuss the balance between trusting the data from wearables and listening to your own body's intuition, noting that the data isn't foolproof. - Quick Fixes vs. Root Causes: The discussion touches on how Western medicine often focuses on treating symptoms with quick fixes like medication, rather than addressing the underlying lifestyle factors. - The Power of Feedback Loops: Using AI and wearables creates a tighter feedback loop, allowing people to experiment with lifestyle changes and see the results faster, which helps maintain motivation. - Burnout as a Lifestyle Choice: Burnout is framed not just as a workplace issue but as a lifestyle problem driven by priorities that don't include recovery. - Behavioral Change is Hard: The hosts acknowledge that knowing what to do isn't the same as doing it, and that current behaviors often serve a purpose, even if they're unhealthy. - Data Privacy Concerns: Garrett acknowledges the risk of sharing personal health data with AI but weighs the benefit of gaining health insights against the potential for data leaks.
