Скачать или смотреть 81 - TERMINATOR Review + AI Self-Preservation, Moon Landing Lies & The Future of Humanity

In JOJ Episode 81, Jack and Ben break down The Terminator (1984) and compare its themes — AI takeover, time-travel paradoxes, authoritarian control, and machine self-preservation — to what’s happening today.

The episode spirals (in the best way) into deep discussions about artificial intelligence, nuclear war triggers, social media manipulation, the moon landing, Bob Lazar, aliens, government secrecy, 9/11, isolation, human connection, and the future direction of society.
