Black Mirror, Robo Sales Calls, and AI Love Bots?

Dave and Jamie are back from their summer break, pretending they were hard at work, but really just enjoying the time off.
This episode kicks off with some name-dropping-Jamie’s sharing a stage with Black Mirror’s Charlie Brooker, no big deal-and the chat quickly spirals into space mining, AI-induced climate optimism, and… alien trade deals?
Jamie’s recent run-in with Ticketmaster’s bot detector while trying to snag Oasis tickets reveals the irony of his job in automation.
They discuss the rise of OpenAI, Microsoft and Apple’s cash injections, and the future of AI-dominated call centers, which Dave suspects will be more annoying than useful.
With their usual schoolyard level of interrogation, they ponder whether having an affair with a humanoid robot counts as cheating, agree the wealth gap’s out of control (even if you are better off than a 17th-century king), and throw in a few Oasis lyrics for good measure. Expect a dry, witty dive into the unsettling future of AI, with a dash of existential dread and a side of concert ticket frustration.
