In this episode, we bring you two terrifying tales from an anonymous author and Christopher Gideon, performed by host and narrator Otis Jiry, about both sides of the A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) coin, and the abject fear that one can experience both being the creation, as well as the creator. Regardless of which end of the spectrum you fall on yourself, or empathize with, one thing is certain: the “Singularity” will someday affect us all, and when it does, pulling the plug may not be so easy as we expect.
"The Life In The Machine"
The story of a computer programmer who produces a video game that ends up taking on a life of its own. When his virtual creations form a civilization and begin worshiping him as their deity, things get heavy. When he decides to put himself into the game to save the world he designed from its own destruction, things get... real.
