Should you fear AI? Are Robots taking over the world? Why are we talking about giraffes?

Welcome to Don’t Fear the Feed, the comedy news podcast and news commentary show that drags viral topics and viral moments through the mud. On today’s episode, Josh starts off with the story of two 12-foot, 900-pound giraffe calves that mysteriously go missing from Virginia’s Natural Bridge Zoo for over a year, later to be found via an Attorney General investigation amid animal-cruelty charges and rising local violent crime. What?

From there, the society and culture podcast pivots to whether AI is “taking over,” hitting self-checkouts, cashier-less stores, driverless rides, deepfakes, and Tom Hanks’ fears about AI recreating voices—plus a street-interview split between “fear the feed” and “don’t.” Josh argues that AI is everywhere and replacing some jobs, but won’t make humans obsolete because it still needs human oversight, while warning the real threat isn’t robots—it’s who controls them.

This episode is a lot of fun, so don’t miss it!
