Ep 56: Ghosts in the Machine

from 1080 After Dark Hosted by Dave Michaels

Detective Billy Armi files an unprecedented report on a series of mysterious deaths spanning multiple continents. At first glance, the victims appear to have nothing in common. But as Billy follows the evidence, he uncovers a chilling pattern involving forgotten AI models, vanished home servers, and an unsettling realization that someone—or something—is quietly erasing technological history. Along the way, Billy reflects on Silicon Valley's past, the strange resemblance between cities and computer chips, and the thin line separating flesh from silicon. As the investigation reaches its climax, an ordinary maintenance worker makes an ordinary decision... with extraordinary consequences. Is this another case closed—or just the beginning?
