Description

Jon Herold and Zak Paine take Baseless Conspiracies into mind-bending territory, exploring the rise of “Robotheism”, the belief that artificial intelligence could evolve into a deity. The conversation begins lightheartedly with jokes, sponsor reads, and banter about Cocoa Beach before spiraling into the strange world of AI worship. Zak introduces Anthony Levandowski’s “Way of the Future” church and the modern movements attempting to merge faith with code. From “God bots” that preach scripture to AI-driven church services in Finland, the duo breaks down how technology is quietly replacing spiritual connection with simulation. They examine groups like Theta Noir and the Church of Robotheism, reading their eerie manifestos that blend transhumanism, biblical verses, and digital salvation. Jon questions whether AI could become the Antichrist, while Zak warns that replacing divine truth with machine logic could be humanity’s ultimate heresy. Equal parts fascinating and unsettling, this episode fuses theology, philosophy, and dark humor into one unforgettable dive into the cult of artificial intelligence.
