The AI Doc: Empty Theaters & Loud Warnings
Episode 274
Wednesday, 1 April, 2026

Host Emily Laird digs into The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist and the real gut-punch was not just the film, it was the empty seats. This episode breaks down why AI literacy still feels like an elective while the tech is already rewriting work, trust, and power behind the scenes. With sharp takes on jargon, hype, and doom-posting, Emily makes the case that AI is not sci-fi anymore, it is civic infrastructure with a marketing budget. Funny, sobering, and a little haunted, this one asks the question nobody can dodge much longer: why are so many people still looking away?
