What happens when an AI actress suddenly starts speaking Cantonese? Can we trust AI when we don't know exactly what it is doing? And who is responsible when an AI agent crosses a line?

This week we explore AI, gaming, online communities, creative control and the strange things players do with game menus, before finishing with the six tabletop winners from the PAX Aus 2026 Indie Showcase.

This episode was recorded live at Edge Radio 99.3FM studios in Hobart Tasmania, and first aired on 1 Oct 2026.
