What happens when intelligent systems stop failing loudly, and start failing quietly?

Human After AI is a long-form podcast exploring how artificial intelligence systems break down in the real world, and what those failures look like in human lives.

In this episode, author Hank M. Greene and co-hosts Julian and Mandrake dive into the chilling reality of AI wearables. When a device acts as a second skin, tracking your posture, stress levels, and micro-movements, it doesn't just read your data; it predicts your emotions.

We then drop into Chapter 3 of the techno-realistic thriller, TEN. The physical and digital worlds finally collide as Max receives the "Zoo Mesh" and names his AI assistant. Across the country, Spencer is building an incentive engine that removes all friction from human choice, effectively building a velvet-lined prison of convenience. And Beth comes face-to-face with Dr. Alison, a brilliant mentor who lacks any physiological "noise" and shares a strikingly familiar set of blue-green eyes.

Are these kids following their dreams, or were they recruited by a system that needed them to build it?

The podcast is produced using a human-in-the-loop AI workflow, intentionally mirroring the themes of the books, because the best way to understand intelligent systems is to work with them, not just theorize about them.
