Ep.1 - Part 2 - The Door Dash Scandal, AI Slop & The Death of Ownership

In this second half of the episode, we pivot from cinema to reality and it’s getting harder to tell the difference. We break down the viral “Door Dash Girl” scandal involving Liv Henderson and how AI bots are now manufacturing “paragraph guys” to skew public perception.We also debate the controversial use of AI interpolation in anime like One Punch Man (and why Josh absolutely hates it) , before looking at the environmental cost of AI models. Did you know training one model consumes the same water as manufacturing 320 Teslas?. Finally, we discuss why 2026 is seeing a return to “analog,” with the resurgence of vinyls, DVDs, and wired headphones as people fight to own their media again.Sponsor:* Japan Escape Proposal: www.titanmeridian.co.uk/proposal/japan-escapeRelevant Links:* The AI “Poison” Tool: Nightshade (University of Chicago)* The Legislation: The NO FAKES Act* The Detection Tool: Google SynthID* The AI Platform: Grok (xAI) This is a public episode.
