The Ontology of Safety | Zero Decorum
from Zero Decorum · host Felicia Mirabel
Felicia arrives too tired to prep and accidentally makes two hours of radio anyway. OreoGate turns out to be an AI advertisement. A used-car dealership’s chatbot gets prompt-injected with Guybrush Threepwood, a suspiciously synthetic salesperson jingles the same keys twice, and a $400 brake-light fee becomes a descent into the ontology of safety.From there: a dealership tries to sell a car it doesn’t own; Felicia reverse-engineers demolition-derby seats; the entire Nicene Creed escapes from long-term memory; a grim AI court ruling triggers a fight over thought crimes; humanoid robots become American Gladiators; corny regional wrestling returns; and the Opie Shopping Network begins crawling out of the Goodwill bins.Dan attempts to keep the show on one subject. There was never any chance.Content note: Includes a non-graphic discussion of AI-generated child sexual abuse material and its civil-liberties implications.
