Everything is AI (Premium E353)
As we head into pumpkin spice season and the leaves begin to fall, so too does Jake’s brain - falling - nay - plummeting deep deep down into the AI slop latrine where his senses are assaulted from all sides as he claws at the crumbling walls of his reality. The harder he tries the more he breaks through into a world of falling green code and wireframes. Suddenly he realizes…everything is AI.
In a proper rant episode, Jake and Liv break down the most egregious uses of AI that have been forced upon us from nearly every angle of our lives. From our movies, phones, and productivity to mathematics and the end of the world. Suspiciously, Julian listens on as the voice of reason while Jake preaches from his knees.
Folks, you know things are dire when Julian is the calmest host on the pod.

Gotta say, this was extremely cathartic. Never change, Jake
Can we get the pictures of AI Jake?
Jake don't upgrade to a 5000 series card to use DLSS5, just use optiscaler and upstream the neural rendering for performance. It works on any card, even AMD now :) .
Jake says MAKE YOUR OWN DOPE SHIT
Coward, post AI hole
Jake liking DLSS5 is how I know he is finally cracked. In all seriousness, I like a little casual conversation episode now and again. You guys put so much well researched and put together material, I think we all deserve a little existential whimsy now and again.
I don't think it's terrible when it's a light filter, it basically makes shadows deeper and textures sharper. That said, it's an insane performance killer for something that can be achieved with much simpler settings
I am with you, Jake. Spiraling 😵💫
Amazing. Another set of unsung heroes screaming into the void.Trying to help us all.
I force myself to read entire books these days. It's taken about 9 months of conscious decision-making to put down the device and just exist in the physical world.
DLSS is Deep Learning Super Sampling. basically the gpu renders the game, the ai reads the rendering and then creates a photorealistic overlay based on the textures that it scans. its like not the worst use of ai but it does look pretty foul rn
Now that Jake has gone retro I really want him to see my crt/plasma array
Jake transforms into a maniacal chimpanzee this episode!
The fucking mouth noises in the elon clip are excruciating. Did they ask AI how to set up a mic?
Liv Agar
Widespread humanoid robots is my new band name.
Okay. Having obsessed over Euler in college, and being jealous of Julian's french, today is truly a wondrous day. It is wondrous because I get to pass on a european pronunciation that i was corrected on to Julian, the king of correction. It's pronounced oy-ler, not yew-ler. That felt amazing.
Why does julian and liv sitting around giggling remind me of Beavis and Butthead?
Honestly thank god for them sniggering
Trump Accounts are the crappy savings accounts that babies born over the next 2 years get with $1,000 funded into it by the government.
Imma shoehorn in a lil factoid that no one needs: HAL is a -1 monoalphabetic substitution cipher of IBM.
I needed it
Felt Jake’s meltdown in my bones
First off I never leave comments, I'm a silent enjoyer. But I wanted it to be know that listening to this podcast is dangerous. Mid shaving my face (safety razor) Julian roasted Jake, and I visualized Jake in a maid dress asking if the painters wanted coffee. I laughed so hard I almost died.
Don’t worry Jake, we’ve been losing our minds for 8 years right alongside you
Oh my dog!! Jake's meltdown about AI in phones is so fucken relatable. I've been on one about it for weeks now and I didn't even get a new phone. Just one day mine was infested with invasive little goblins that reorganised all my shit. Took me 20 minutes to find my favourites folder in my photos app for fucks sake!! Like, the whole point of favourites is that they're up top and easily accessible. But nope! This AI jerk decided that they belonged hidden in some fucken folder that I didn't even create or know existed. Absolute balls!!! So yep, AI can get absolutely fucked!! 😡😡😡😡
Jake was definitely describing retainers in FFXIV. I’ve played that game for an embarrassing amount of time, so I recognize it!
It's making me want to get back into the game. Haven't played since Heavensward.
Oh Jake..
Bizarre that Blomkamp says "it uses real actor likenesses and voices" like that's a good thing
Yo, that documentary sounds really great. Looking forward to that Jake.
RIP Jake...😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 3 different kinds of AI!!!!
Jake having three types of AI on his new phone has the same effect as getting kicked in the head by a horse
Maybe some people working in AI sincerely believe that it could "end humanity", but that's not the main reason all of the AI companies are calling for slowdown and regulation. They're deeply unprofitable, they have no business model, their AI models have plateaued, and over the next couple of years, they're going to owe hundreds of billions of dollars to the companies building all of these data centers when they finally come online. They're financially fucked. Calling for the slowing down of AI progress, asking to be regulated, it all serves the purpose of delaying the inevitable. Pretending that they had to slow down development for the sake of humanity allows them to gaslight investors and keep them on the hook as long as possible as an excuse to why the technology isn't getting better and why they haven't found profitable business models. It also seems likely to me that they will use this same lie as an excuse to renegotiate their financial obligations to delay payment deadlines for the data centers. They're consciously gaslighting the public through an unserious media that their technology is advancing so rapidly that it poses a threat to civilization. It's just fraudulent.
What an excellent analysis, thank you!!
Episodes like these make me wish the QAA streams could come back! Jake episodes would work so much better as a stream IMO!
Aiyy lmao
Was Elon chewing gum in that clip?
You sound like a chicken when you laugh uncontrollably. Its okay, I sound like Marge Simpson
Jake Breakatansky
Liv laughing makes my day
So what you're saying is: Liv-Laugh, Love
Fellow Motorola sufferer, you can disable Glance through the settings -> apps manager, it doesn't show up in the app menu, BUT you have to disable it every time your phone reboots. Bixby you can disable the opening of somehow but it's been awhile. Reddit helped out with that
How in the world can anyone listen to Elon Musk talk? I think that is the longest I’ve ever heard him speak and my entire nervous system is flipping me off.
Jake might be the first person I've heard of who isn't a full-blown AI booster but likes what DLSS5 does to a game. I guess in something like NBA2K those effects are less likely to be outright offensive than just about everything I've seen that's stylized in any way that diverges from photorealism, but, huh. Honestly though Jake, judging from how big of a performance sink it seems to be even on the beefiest monster graphics cards from initial benchmarks, I'd recommend against trying to gear up for it even if you do like what it does. It's a lot of money down on making a game run way worse for a bit of extra skin gloss.
Jake's laugh is so genuine it always sounds like someone is tickling him and he cant hold back. I cant help but laugh along
Truly the stavros of the pod
not our best gang
This podcast is like Jake's personal copy of The King in Yellow. Slowly driving him mad until someone finds him one day mumbling to himself with print outs of basketball players faces trying to insert them into an unplugged PS5.
Seriously though, Jake if you ain't already, Ed Zitron is the most effective medicine for this topic. Your prescription is ready at the counter. (Oh also there a funny video of a guy trying to get 3 AIs to count to one hundred you gotta see, channel is 'Husk IRL' I think now, they trap themselves in a loop of just agreeing they're gonna do it without even starting it lol)
Why am I paying for this?
Imo, I guess the bet is that the QAA fanbase's parasocial relationship with the hosts is strong enough that we will pay for the privilege of listening to people with very little chemistry read news stories from last week at one another. My favorite part is when they just read Twitter or YouTube comments to fill time lol
Jake needs some Ed Zitron in his life so badly. Maybe Liv too, but Jake's blood pressure seems more in need of that anti AI soothing cream.
Yep 👍🏻 Need Ed Zitron back on the show for his analysis of all this. Bring on the Super - Bear ! 🙌
“Yooler” 😂
I was going to respond with, “I hardly know ’er!” but it would work better with the correct pronunciation
It’s okay Jakey, don’t let Julian get you down!
liv agar
These idiots have never read a comic book if you want a better comparison what they’re afraid of is Ultron. Or they’re afraid of a version of the world in universe that existed in Frank Herbert Dune before the Butlerian Jihad. These AI idiots need to do more reading.
The vacation itinerary thing makes me so mad because they actually advertise it like that's something it can do, like it's a feature but then if you try to have it do it it fucking sucks. I hate AI I hate this stupid world
Not all slop is AI!! I unironically love this type of filler episode for simultaneously complaining about AI slop but also being some of the laziest (non-AI) content out there, literally just rambling about video games/Jake's new phone, and repeatedly saying "we're cooked" or other doomer stuff about everything. It might sound like I'm a hater, but I actually find it very charming. I will pay them a few bucks every month until I die.
It was a dl Jakes Takes
Jake breaks
"We've become a culture of Fortnite dances and open air Nazism." Fuck
"We've become a culture of Fortnite dances and open air Nazism." Fuck
I'm so glad I got to experience at least a couple of years in my life before the shitshow we're all living in atm. I got the taste of it as a lil girl.
Wait, come to think of it, maybe it's worse to have experienced the before AI period... DAMMIT
Jake struggling to remember that the podcast is an audio medium when showing clips is one of the funniest running bits in the show
Its a "running bit"... yeah sure 😆
Ai suggests pictures of me as a woman. Way to point out im a bit ugly!
Jake if you’re reading this I love you and I’m in love with you
Everything is Liv Agar
Jake's original episode title was in fact "Everything is Liv A.I. gar"
A.I. Sir Bilbo Motherfucking Baggins almost ruined Alien Romulus for me
Oh man acts 1 & 2 were so good and then it just 💩 the 🛏️.
Someone needs to buy Jake a set of acrylic paints and a couple of Warhammer miniatures. Then the NBA2K curse will be broken. Not only that, the Internet poison will slowly drain from his system.
It may be the catalyst to get Robert Evans on an episode.
God saves his toughest battles for his dampest Los Angelinos Jake. ✊🏼
I deeply need a QAA episode talking about the rationalists
We need a whole mini series to get a sense of how odd that lot are.
We really need a good AI war to bring us all together
A 'Butlerian Jihad' if you will.
Super Structure has been so good for Julian that he's now the voice of reason
lol I heard him on Worst of All Possible Worlds and was caught off guard by how calm he sounded
Professional Fuckable Woman mentioned.
Sounds like the title of an early Tori Amos track
I plugged the script into an AI detector, and it's 14% AI... /J
Weirdly it was just the parts about turning Jake into a French maid.
Liv Agar
