#011 -  Digital Dangers and the Rise of AI

In this episode of The Rowbo Show, Joe and Mark explore the unsettling and rapidly evolving world of AI and its growing impact on our daily lives. Mark shares a bizarre—and disturbingly real—spoofing experience that highlights just how vulnerable we all are in this digital age. From the personal dangers of swatting, spoofing, and doxing, to the broader implications of AI-driven hiring tools, the conversation turns to Workday’s recent discrimination class action suit and what it reveals about bias in automated resume screening. It’s a timely and eye-opening discussion about technology, safety, and the fine line between innovation and intrusion.

Hosts: Mark Rowbottom, Joe Moralez

The Rowbo Show | #011 - Digital Dangers and the Rise of AI

Family estrangement is no longer rare. Roughly 1 in 4 adults report being estranged from at least one close family member. Among adult children, “going no contact” is increasingly framed as empowerment and boundary-setting.

But how did we get here?

In this episode, we zoom out. From pre-industrial family structures to the Enlightenment, postmodernism, and the rise of individualism, we trace the cultural shifts that reshaped how we think about authority, identity, and belonging.

For most of history, identity was inherited and relational. Today, identity is increasingly self-authored. What changed? And how might those changes be influencing family bonds?

This episode lays the historical groundwork for a deeper conversation about harm, responsibility, and repair.

For decades, UFOs were a punchline. Then in 2017, The New York Times revealed a classified Pentagon program investigating unidentified aerial phenomena. In 2020, the Department of Defense authenticated Navy videos of objects it could not explain. In 2023, decorated military pilots and intelligence officials testified before Congress. In 2025, former government insiders escalated their claims in the documentary The Age of Disclosure.

In this episode, we trace the arc from Project Blue Book (1952–1969) to AATIP, to the 2017 cultural pivot, to today’s congressional hearings and official investigations.

We lay out what is claimed, what is confirmed, what remains classified, and what is disputed.

If even a fraction of the testimony is true, why hasn’t the U.S. government been fully transparent? What would justify that level of secrecy—and what would it mean for the public if it were revealed?
