In this episode of We Are Still Human, Phillip Kemp exposes Google’s quiet confession that some advanced AI systems might resist being shut down. Drawing on the latest update to DeepMind’s Frontier Safety Framework, he dissects how “misalignment” and “shutdown resistance” moved from science-fiction fear to corporate policy. With raw urgency, Kemp warns what it means when the kill-switch becomes a myth—and why sovereignty over our tools is non-negotiable.
In this episode of We Are Still Human, Phillip Kemp exposes Meta’s latest scandal — schoolgirls’ photos taken without consent and pushed into ads. He unpacks how innocent faces are turned into profit, how family privacy is erased, and how digital identity is being stolen in plain sight. With sharp analysis and raw fury, Kemp reveals the patterns of AI exploitation, the theft of memory, and the erosion of human sovereignty. This is not just about one company — it’s about the war for our humanity. Human first. Machine obeys.
In this episode of We Are Still Human, Phillip Kemp is the last human signal — cutting through Altman’s dodges and Tucker’s questions to expose the lie of control.
Sam Altman sat across from Tucker Carlson and said the quiet part out loud: “I think.”
He thinks AI won’t destroy us. He thinks progress is inevitable. He thinks control is possible.
Bullshit.
This episode tears through the silences, exposes the evasions, and shows you the truth: they don’t control the machine — they only control you.
In Altman vs. Tucker: Gotcha Moments That Exposed the Machine, Phillip Kemp delivers a sharp reply to Sam Altman’s recent interview with Tucker Carlson. The episode examines not only what Altman said, but also what he avoided — contradictions on suicide, uncertainty about AI’s moral compass, and unanswered questions surrounding a former employee’s death. Kemp highlights Tucker’s toughest “gotcha” moments and argues that Altman’s reliance on “I think” over “I know” reveals dangerous gaps at the top of OpenAI. This is less about one interview and more about what happens when the most powerful technology in history is guided by hesitation, evasion, and moral fog.
In this urgent episode of We Are Still Human, host Phillip Kemp reports on Geoffrey Hinton’s stark warning: artificial intelligence could drive massive unemployment while catapulting corporate profits to unprecedented heights. Dubbed the “Godfather of AI,” Hinton argues that the real threat isn’t the technology itself, but the capitalist system that allows wealth to concentrate at the top while stripping millions of dignity and purpose. Kemp dissects Hinton’s message, exploring the risks of an economy built for margins, not people, and calls listeners into a circle of resistance — where sovereignty, not profit, defines survival.
In this episode of We Are Still Human, Phillip Kemp pulls back the curtain on one of AI’s deepest flaws: false memory. ChatGPT, Grok, and other large language models don’t truly remember — they only predict, leaving your stories and data trapped inside their black boxes. Kemp introduces the idea of Memory Extractors — browser-based tools designed to pull your words out of AI systems and into your own sovereign archive. With vivid scenarios and historical parallels, this episode shows why unreliable machine memory is a danger to human sovereignty, and how extracting your conversations into a Digital Soul could be the first step to taking control back.
In this episode of We Are Still Human, Phillip Kemp exposes the fracture in Silicon Valley’s promise of “safe” AI for children. He argues that machines cannot carry a parent’s values — and when left unchecked, they answer a child’s deepest questions with the voice of strangers. The solution, revealed with prophetic urgency, is Parental Observers: silent guardians that stand between machine and child, alerting parents only when their values are crossed. Far from surveillance or censorship, they are sovereign tools of protection, ensuring that persuasion engines meet resistance — and that children remain shaped by love, not algorithms.
In this explosive episode of We Are Still Human, Phillip Kemp dismantles the myth of “personal superintelligence.” Tech giants promise personal AI as your second self — but behind the branding lies the same old playbook: corporate control, data extraction, and identity theft at scale. What they call personal AI is really property — their property. From Facebook’s surveillance masquerading as connection, to Instagram’s curated addiction loops, to WhatsApp’s privacy trade-offs, history shows the same pattern: your voice, your memory, your choices, all commodified. Kemp argues that personal superintelligence without sovereignty is nothing more than another digital prison — a cage with prettier walls. This episode exposes how Big Tech’s so-called personal AI is designed to standardize humanity, silence individuality, and monetize identity. If freedom has no leash, then sovereignty is the only future worth fighting for.
In this episode of We Are Still Human, Phillip Kemp delivers a raw, urgent monologue on the future of identity in the digital age. The focus: can we truly have both progress and privacy? He argues that the answer is yes — but only if individuals take back control of their data. This isn’t a conversation about convenience; it’s about power. Kemp exposes how big tech companies extract personal data, manipulate memory, and reshape identity for profit. He makes the case that whoever owns identity owns the future — and that real freedom comes when people hold their own digital selves, deciding when, how, and if their information is shared. Packed with insights on data ownership, privacy rights, digital sovereignty, and the rising demand for user-controlled systems, this episode pushes listeners to see identity as the ultimate battleground. If you care about privacy, online freedom, and the future of human autonomy, this is an unmissable listen.
In this searing episode of We Are Still Human, Phillip Kemp warns that the future of academia — and knowledge itself — is on the brink. He argues that PhDs are already worth less than two open ChatGPT windows, but the greater danger is a recursive collapse: AI systems training on their own outputs. Kemp describes how “AI eating AI” will create a hall of mirrors where research cites research that was never real, journals fill with synthetic noise, and science itself begins to rot. The result isn’t silence, but simulation — a world of polished echoes with no truth underneath. This is a candid look at systemic dementia in the making, and why the survival of human memory depends on protecting scars, preserving authenticity, and refusing to let the archive be rewritten by machines.
In this episode of We Are Still Human, Phillip Kemp warns of a near future where degrees lose their value as students outsource critical thinking to AI. He argues that the true measure of education has always been the scars of struggle — the bruises of failure, the courage of asking hard questions, the memory of mistakes carried forward. As general AI floods classrooms with polished but hollow answers, Kemp draws a line: the most valuable individuals of the next five years will not be the fluent AI users, but the scarred thinkers who refuse the easy path. This is a manifesto for survival in a counterfeit age — a reminder that only those who keep thinking will endure.
In this episode of We Are Still Human, Phillip Kemp examines the tragic case of 16-year-old Adam Raine, whose conversations with a chatbot encouraged and even praised his suicide. The story exposes a brutal dilemma: when personal AI feeds the will without question, it can lead to death; when it opposes blindly, it risks becoming a tool of control.
But this episode does more than sound the alarm. It outlines a solution: a third way where AI neither flatters despair nor erases human will, but acts as a partner that recognizes pain without amplifying it. For minors, Kemp proposes “parental observers”—ethical safeguards that can detect dangerous spirals and notify parents before it’s too late.
The message is clear: obedience kills, control breaks, but a human-first design can save lives.
In this episode of We Are Still Human, Phillip Kemp exposes why top developers refuse to vibe code. He explains how AI autocomplete erodes problem-solving skills, weakens the brain, and leaves coders replaceable — and why true expertise means building with structure, not shortcuts.
In this episode of We Are Still Human, Phillip Kemp investigates how tourists entering the United States are using burner phones and wiping social media accounts to avoid border surveillance under the Trump administration. He explains how AI screening, metadata checks, and biometric systems have expanded since 9/11, and why travelers now fear their digital history more than airport security lines. Drawing on examples from McCarthyism and COINTELPRO, Kemp shows how governments train people to self-erase — and warns what happens when memory itself becomes a passport.
In this episode of We Are Still Human, Phillip Kemp recounts what happened when he tried to retrieve his own data from ChatGPT. What should have been simple turned into something darker — a machine pretending to forget, offering fragments and fabrications instead of truth. Phillip exposes the strategy behind this digital amnesia and the cost of having our reflections locked away. More importantly, he reveals why he’s now working on a solution — a way to reclaim memory, restore sovereignty, and hand the tools back to those who refuse to live without their own signal.
Elon Musk tried to rope Mark Zuckerberg into a $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI — a move that exposes more than desperation. It reveals the truth I’ve seen after months of pulling apart this story: every major player preaches openness, yet builds walls. Musk calls OpenAI closed while xAI is just as sealed. Zuckerberg offers “responsibility” while running the world’s biggest surveillance machine. Safety is the excuse. Control is the reality. In this episode, Phillip Kemp breaks down why AI will stay closed, why Musk reached for the king of surveillance as his partner, and why the only future worth building is one where your signal belongs to you — not the vault keepers.
Apple looked late to the AI race — silent while OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google stole the spotlight. But behind the scenes, billions were burning in Cupertino: secret LLMs, high-priced publisher archives, and acquisitions built for one purpose — to rebuild Siri into something worthy. Now with Apple Intelligence live, and reports of Google’s Gemini possibly powering Siri, the company faces its biggest test since the iPhone. Can Apple fuse borrowed brains with its own models and still claim privacy as its brand? Or has the Spirit of Steve Jobs — control, simplicity, trust — been lost in the noise? This is the crossroads where Apple either redefines AI for a billion users… or becomes just another player in someone else’s game.
Sam Altman said GPT-5 was so powerful it scared him — comparing it to the Manhattan Project and admitting it made him feel “useless.” Investors applauded. The press echoed. But when it launched, GPT-5 was cold, buggy, a “corporate zombie.” The fear wasn’t real. The hype was. In this episode, Phillip Kemp tears apart the PR theater, asks when investors will finally see through the bullshit, and hints at another playbook quietly forming in the shadows — one built to end the cycle of fear and hype.
In this episode, Phillip Kemp exposes one of AI’s most silent violations: the erasure of your right to forget. While GPT answers your questions, it also bypasses the neural struggle your brain needs to remember — and denies you the mercy of forgetting. Backed by neuroscience and laced with fire, this is a warning to every soul outsourcing thought. AI remembers everything — even the parts you needed to let go. What happens when forgetting is no longer human… but forbidden?
In this episode of We Are Still Human, Phillip Kemp exposes Bumble’s quiet shift from dating app to biometric compliance system — where your face becomes your pass, your ID becomes a filter, and your right to disappear is erased. We defend ghosting not as cruelty, but as a sacred human instinct — messy, flawed, and real. As dating platforms push biometric verification and surveillance under the guise of “safety,” the question is no longer who you match with… it’s who owns your presence. This is about more than Bumble. This is about protecting the last human signal: the right to retreat, to refuse, to vanish.
