Description

Prepare for a double dose of techno-weirdness as Blurry Hysteria dives into the world of artificial intelligence! First, we glow up with the story of an AI-invented molecule that nature would’ve needed half a billion years to cook up. Is AI outpacing evolution? Then, things get dark (and oddly philosophical) as scientists propose testing AI sentience by making it suffer. Yes, that’s right—pain for progress! Join the crew as they decode the wild and wacky intersection of science and sci-fi in this illuminating and borderline sadistic episode.
