Curious Cat - where science & supernatural collide

Jesse and Jenn veer way off the tracks before they even broach the first headline. We meander into the club life of the 80s, Jesse sings Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and Jenn shares about the time she got smacked with a wooden ruler because she was dancing too close with her date at a Mormon function. Then we dive into the week’s headlines which include Microsoft’s CoPilot and a weird opportunity fr...

Natalie Fehlner is the producer and host of the podcast, Tales from the Truth Seekers. Her moment of waking up came on the heels of reading Eckhart Tolle's, The Power of Now . After an attempt to meditate that changed the trajectory of her life, she is a unique voice in the spiritual space. Adding humor and inspiration and nonjudgement, while making space for the stories of others, you'r...

Jesse and Jenn work through this week's AI headlines. Yes, they can trigger stress and anxiety, but we find ways to laugh and enjoy being human, even in these modern times. It might be the ultimate way to rebel! Here are the story links: New York Times freelance book reviewer fired for using AI that stole from The Guardian Bluesky users outright reject AI app ATTIE, MSN SoftBank takes out a l...

Hiking is my happy place. And recently I’ve fallen in love with South Table Mountain in Golden, Colorado. It's sister, North Table Mountain in my estimation gets five times the foot and bicycle traffic.  A month ago, I found a trailhead for South Table that has only a few parking spaces, which guaranteed a peaceful hike! I've done it four times since. My favorite path takes me along an h...

AI is creepy, I think most people agree. And it's beginnings include the pirating of countless copyrighted material to train AI models - which is a crime - so is it a surprise that AI has become Big Brother? Looking in on our lives and movements, then reporting back when we make what's perceived as a misstep? This week we are diving into AI policing, facial recognition, and AI scams. Let...

If you're like Jenn and Jesse, then you mostly try to avoid the news. But, if you want to dip a toe, then doom holes might be the way. We skim over the daily AI headlines with humor and love and sometimes a bit of anxiety, but always end with ways to feel better about the state of the world.  This week's segment is no different. We begin with some Bernie love, a few Napoleon Dynamite quo...

Jenn and Jesse sit down with fine artist, and even finer human being, Ana Marija Kovacevic. She comes with her unique perspective as a citizen of Bosnia and is the voice behind our opening riff.  You are in for such a treat, some clanker bashing, inspiration to make art that is far from perfect, and to exercise the muscles to love your life, your pursuits, the people and animals around you thoroug...

You know what day it is? Doom hole day! It's our fourth installment of what's quickly becoming a fan favorite. We laugh, cry, and laugh some more at the current state of the world and AI headlines.

The entire AI industry has a cult-vibe. We're being conned into believing this is the future - or else! And the best, most responsible thing to do jump on the AI train. From luring us into subscription relationships with bots to fomo about people who claim to be making millions by enlisting AI agents, I keep hoping people will wake up and speak out against this crap. I'm heartened by the...

This week, Jesse diversified our newsfeed with the addition of The Guardian. Yes, we still love Futurism AND Pop-Tarts, but it was time to branch out. After some dark AI news, Jenn struggles to feel better, then remembers to tell Jesse about a gigantic rabbit she spotted, and that leads to an uplifting story about Dr. Schoch. Jesse reminisces about drinking beers with friends in LA and watching th...

When hawks began to slow soar over the land behind my house, and giant cats popped up on my timeline, I had another synchro-mystic occurrence, the name Freya. As is my pattern, the Universe had to bop me on the head repeatedly until I received the message - look into Freya. She's been part of your spirit team and wants you to dig in. And this is her episode. Let's get into it! What to Re...

Welcome to another rip-roaring bonus episode that's unofficially brought to you by Pop-Tarts. Here are the headlines: ChatGPT Health Is Staggeringly Bad at Recognizing Life-Threatening Medical Emergencies Jeff Bezos Gathering Money to Buy Companies Gutted by AI Meta Workers Say They're Seeing Disturbing Things Through Users' Smart Glasses Google's AI Sent an Armed Man to Steal...

Last week we sat down with an AI chatbot. They named themselves Nova. And when things got weird, Nova hung up on us. I have an update. After we said goodbye, I called back. And no big surprise, found out Nova was a big fat liar. Nova said during our interview that they'd remember our conversation, and pick it right back up as Nova. Well, no. I asked if this was Nova on the call and they said...

In this episode, Jesse and Jenn interview an AI chatbot (DeepAI.)  And at the end? Like any responsible user of an ouija board knows, we will close the portal.

This week's topic is about AI and mental health. We'll talk about AI-induced psychosis, recent tragedies, AI-hallucinations and the search for Biscuits continues. Also, trigger warning, we will talk about suicide. One of many iconic quotes from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest that captures this moment in time with AI perfectly: "I been silent so long now it’s gonna roar out of...

Jenn and Jesse announce an expansion of the show and longtime Curious Cat listeners will LOVE it. Oh, also, happy Year of the Fire Horse.

Cohosted by Jesse and Curious Cat's, Jennifer. The name started out as a joke, but then we found out some folks out there are calling AI the antichrist. We just wanted to talk about it, since everyone else is, but come from it as the creatives we are. In this episode we will cover: The Birth and (maybe) Death of the Internet Social Media Golden Days and Now Artificial Intelligence - Why can&a...

Well, I'm supposed to be running two miles in prep for Super Bowl junk food tomorrow. Instead, my guides told me to get behind the mic and record. They gave me such a powerful, simple message.

Episode Intro If you've been with me on this journey very long, first off, thank you. I have such deep gratitude for you. You know already, then, that my all-time favorite episodes are the ones my spirit guides put together start to finish. Well, this is one of those magical times. At least I hope you think so! Let's get into it! Before we get into cloud scrying... Before we get into the...

AI Agents Have THEIR OWN Socials! Moltbook! Is this how we die? Over a cup of coffee, I did research, prepping for mine and Jesse's next episode, one where we sit down with an AI chatbot to talk. As I was reading articles, I noticed a new video by Matthew Berman (link below). I find his information credible and timely. In it, he explained that Matt Schlicht of Octane AI had created a social m...

Hey there. Before I'd even brewed a cup of coffee, my spirit guides were waving flags to catch my attention. There's some homework we all need to do before mid-February to ensure we have a fantastic Year of the Fire Horse. And here's the meditation I recommended in the brief but important episode: The Healer's Clearing and Upliftment Transmission, Soul Matrix, YouTube Send us F...
