The Mike Church Show continues our Podcast series exploring what is AI, how and why it must be stopped.
Many people saw the rise in electronic gadgetry as a threat to human flourishing including the brilliant convert to The Catholic Faith, Marshall McCluhan in his “Understanding Media” essays.
After three thousand years of explosion, by means of fragmentary and mechanical technologies, the Western world is imploding. During the mechanical ages we had extended our bodies in space. Today, after more than a century of electric technology, we have extended our central nervous system itself in a global embrace, abolishing both space and time as far as our planet is concerned. Rapidly, we approach the final phase of the extensions of man – the technological simulation of consciousness, when the creative process of knowing will be collectively and corporately extended to the whole of human society, much as we have already extended our senses and our nerves by the various media.

Enjoyed this, Mike! Thanks!
“You don’t know who’s playing you, and what they’re playing you for.”
Oh, boy, so true!!! Just look at the absolute mess that large comments sections have become when it comes to people deciding to trust someone or not these days. The nightmare of AI magnifies that like crazy, when we may no longer be able to tell the fakes from the real things. Saw a small quiz on Notes about real vs AI-created images- current tech remains imperfect, and you can still find the little flaws- but given more time—? Which is why we are being pushed towards adopting virtual reality as a bigger part of our lives- so much easier for them to manipulate everything.
Haha, I still have cassette tapes and the original Sony boombox from the late 80s. But my first iPhone was the 6- which I’m still using, although also have a 14 now (nothing else in between!)
