GROKTALK!: AI & The Surveillance State

This week, on GrokTALK!, Big Brother was always going to be a problem for the modern world, for law-abiding citizens and criminals alike. But now we’ve got AI to go with it, Flock, Smartphones, Ring Cameras, and even racist facial recognition systems. I kid you not. Strap in for a look at privacy and AI in 2026.

“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.” – Gustav Mahler

    GrokTALK! has been the eponymous podcasting vehicle of Granitegrok.com since its inception in 2011/2012 (before podcasting was PODCASTING).

    Several iterations of the program have begun and ended, including a three-year continuous run of nearly 200 weekly two-hour episodes. Several attempts at a remote version happened, but it wasn't until late 2024 that owner and editor Steve MacDonald rebooted it as a weekly podcast.

    Note: if you find an old episode you want to hear or watch and the audio or video is not available, email steve@graniteGrok.com and he will dig it out of the archive and reattach it to its post page.
