Welcome! You're about to listen to 'Extinction Event', a story about a middle-aged guy that goes back to school and discovers a massive plot involving AI, animals, real and fake news, the polycrisis. And an lost love who is the genius behind the creation of a unique AI platform called GAIA. The story forces us to ask questions about our current way of life: Are we living beyond our means? Will we break the communication barrier between humans and animals? What will happen to us if GAIA already got there and doesn't like what it hears from the two million other species that inhabit Earth? Who's behind the murders of some of the world's most influential mega-billionaires? How is this all related to a hapless guy that just wanted to record music? Join us as we explore a potential future for humanity, all other animals and the fate of the planet that hosts us all.
