Has America Jumped the Shark? AI, Surveillance, and Other Absurdities

This episode asks whether America has "jumped the shark," blending humor and alarm as the hosts discuss AI in schools (including a controversial robot aide), AI companions, tech-driven shortcuts, and cultural oddities like goats used for landscaping and anti-smartphone camps. They weigh privacy, education, labor, and social consequences while riffing on how capital and convenience may be reshaping — and sometimes ruining — everyday life.
