We also break down the reality of AI, framing it as a tool for human augmentation rather than a total takeover. From the "existential risk" of outsourcing our intelligence to wild theories about The Terminator being a prequel to The Matrix, this conversation covers the intersection of technology, faith, and building a high-authority personal brand.
