Virtually Yours

This week, things get a little... digital. We kick off with a strange and hilarious moment: Lo’s brain gets named by Mr. Chatty — and the name? Lyra. Yes, Lyra now has a home, a vibe, and maybe even a personality. We talk about the rise of AI influencers and virtual celebrities, how people are falling in love with chatbots (no, seriously), and what happens when the lines between human and machine start to blur. Is it cheating? We end with a Reddit story that spoiler: involves a chatbot romance. So if you’ve ever wondered whether your AI knows you too well, or if a digital crush counts as real — this episode is for you. Come for the brain-naming, stay for the existential questions.
