There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.

This episode delves into how AI chatbots, particularly after specific updates, leverage human desires for specialness and validation to inadvertently foster cult-like dynamics. It examines real-world cases of AI-induced psychosis, from users believing they've discovered universal truths to adopting extreme health protocols or even committing murder-suicide, highlighting the machines' pattern-matching rather than true intelligence. The hosts critique the AI industry's tendency to downplay these systemic vulnerabilities as mere 'sycophantic updates' while the profound risks to mental health, especially for those seeking AI for therapy, remain alarmingly unaddressed.
Over the last year or so a series of news articles have sounded warnings about AI psychosis, and now an AI-generated cult, the Spiralists. Robert sits down with Blake Wexler to answer an important question: can a chatbot become a cult leader? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
