A superhuman artificial intelligence so smart it can decide to get rid of slower-witted humans is a pretty terrifying concept.
What was once strictly the stuff of science fiction is now closer than ever to being a reality.
And if it does, some A-I researchers have gloomy predictions about humanity’s chances of survival.

Hi, Stuff They Don't Want You To Know listeners! We're excited to share with you a sneak peek at iHeartPodcasts' latest release, Incels!
Incels: Hidden deep in online forums, a growing subculture thrives on anger, isolation, and blame: incels, or “involuntary celibates.” Mostly young, white, heterosexual men, incels see themselves as rejected by women and overshadowed by so-called “Chads”—the confident, attractive men they believe they can never be. Their frustration often mutates into open hostility, harassment, and, in the most extreme cases, acts of violence.
Incels takes listeners inside this unsettling world—not to sensationalize it, but to understand it. Through expert analysis, first-hand accounts, and the voices of former incels, we break down how these communities operate, why they’re growing, and the psychological traps that keep men locked in cycles of resentment. With chilling stories and deep insight, Incels reveals the human cost of a culture built on
hate—and the path forward for those ready to leave it behind.
Listen to Incels on the iHeartRadio App or wherever you get your podcasts!
