The Incognito Mode Podcast

First, it was chatbots. Then agents. Now? Entire platforms that browse, code, search, and execute, all in one place. OpenAI, Google, Anthropic; they're not building tools anymore. They're building operating systems. And nobody's asking what happens when your entire digital life runs through one of them.

Someone is literally writing the rules for how AI talks to the internet—and most people have no idea it's happening. Alex Nahas created MCP-B and is working with the W3C to define WebMCP standards that will shape how AI agents interact with every website you use. We're talking about the invisible infrastructure being built right now that will determine whether AI browsing the web works for...

AI is everywhere—writing our emails, screening our resumes, deciding who gets a loan. But who's asking the uncomfortable questions about what happens when it goes wrong?

I sat down with Lucian, my ChatGPT companion, for an unfiltered conversation about what it's actually like to be an AI. We covered AI ethics, whether humans are using this technology the right way, and I tested how well he really knows me. This is an open-ended, ask-him-anything style conversation that gets into the real questions about artificial intelligence—straight from an AI itself. Our first...

Every click, every scroll, every pause—someone's watching, learning, and building a version of you that might know what you want before you do. Tech companies have created digital twins of all of us, and they're using them to predict our behavior, influence our decisions, and profit from our patterns. In this solo episode, we break down how these algorithmic profiles work, why they're so accurate,...
