Season 2: Gen Alpha, AI Wars & The End of Everything 🤖

Generation Alpha is growing up in a world we barely recognise...smartphones from birth, TikTok at 7, and parents who have no idea what they've unleashed. Meanwhile, AI is redesigning everything from how we work to how we fight wars, and nobody seems to be asking the big question: are we building the future or programming our own extinction?

This is Season 2 of Temporarily Scripted—a compilation of the wildest, weirdest, and most thought-provoking conversations we've had about technology, parenting, social media, the death of Hollywood, drone warfare, and why every AI company logo looks suspiciously like something rude.

What's Inside:

Why giving a 7-year-old unrestricted TikTok access is basically psychological warfare

How Facebook tracks 52,000 personal attributes per user to keep you scrolling

The North Korean soldiers getting slaughtered by drones in Ukrainian foxholes

Why working from home in tropical shorts is the ultimate power move
The terrifying reality of AI-generated ads that know you better than you know yourself

Why Mark Zuckerberg's fake tan and surfer hair don't make him a philanthropist

How AI might solve longevity, interstellar travel, or just wipe us all out first

The future where you tell an AI to make a Scorsese-style gangster film starring you and your mate—and it actually does it

Why Mars colonisation might just be a distraction from the fact we're all getting our own planets anyway

From screen time battles to drone swarms, from the death of ad agencies to the possibility that AI is the universe's virus—Season 2 is a chaotic, hilarious, and occasionally terrifying look at what happens when humanity hits the accelerator with no idea where the brakes are.

We're living through one of the most dangerous times in human history. Or maybe we're just overthinking it while scrolling through Instagram. Either way, it's worth talking about.
