A listener sent Dov a message. 
He said he loved the podcast. 
He also said he could not listen to it anymore. The writing had become unlistenable. 
Dov wrote back six sentences with no framework and no protection. 
Then he sat with what the listener had actually given him.
This is the eighth episode of season two of The Polymathic Perspective. 
 It is not another AI take. Not the "AI will save us" version. Not the "AI will end us" version. Both are exhausting, and both are doing the exact thing this series has been examining for eight episodes. They are running their own code. Anchored in Peter Weir's The Truman Show (1998). Christof was not a villain. He was a man who built the world Truman inhabited from his own unexamined code. That is what we are building now. At civilizational scale. In hiring algorithms. In visa flag systems. In performance review engines. In every mirror we build without first looking at the glass it is being built from. 
 Dov also names, on record, where he found the mechanism running in himself. In real time. In the making of this series.
 The question is not whether AI is dangerous. 
 The question is whether you can look at what the mirror is showing you. 
 Or whether you would rather argue about the quality of the glass.
