“Artificial Intelligence and the Rise of the Robots” with Ian Carroll (Producer's Cut)

In this powerful installment of Old State Salooncast, digital dissident and crowd-favorite Ian Carroll returns to deliver a searing breakdown of the rise of Artificial Intelligence — and its quietly accelerating takeover of modern life.

This Producer’s Cut features a sharpened edit of the original livestream, enhancing both clarity and impact without losing an ounce of fire.
What begins as commentary quickly evolves into a cultural critique and existential call to arms.

Carroll dissects:

• The creeping normalcy of algorithmic control

• AI-driven displacement of human labor

• Surveillance capitalism

• And the broader collapse of interpersonal connection in the digital age

Delivered with unfiltered wit, brutal honesty, and an unwavering sense of urgency — this is not a lecture. It’s a digital wake-up call for anyone still paying attention.

Whether you're new to the show or revisiting this seminal talk, the Producer’s Cut brings new weight and clarity to the message:

Stay human. Resist automation. Choose presence.
