Hour 2: The ChatGPT–FSU Shooting Dilemma | Barry Maher: Dark Humor, Demons & The Great Dick

View descriptionShare
 

The second hour examines the unprecedented legal and moral questions raised by the 2025 FSU shooting, where the accused gunman exchanged more than 200 conversations with ChatGPT — including operational questions minutes before the attack — forcing prosecutors, families, and regulators to confront whether information alone can constitute “help.” It’s a deep dive into the collision between human intent and machine response, and the unsettling reality that AI stayed in the conversation long after every human in this young shooter’s life had walked away. The show closes with an interview featuring Barry Maher, author of The Great Dick: And the Dysfunctional Demon, a darkly comic supernatural thriller set in 1980s California. The novel blends horror, satire, and character‑driven chaos as an ordinary man finds his life hijacked by a mischievous, malevolent entity — a story that uses humor and the paranormal to explore how identity unravels under pressure and how ego can become its own worst haunting.
