Phillip, Brian, and Sarah share tales of ghost sightings, haunted (coffee) grounds, and the rich lore behind one of the oldest continuously operating markets in the U.S. PLUS: Phillip and Brian debrief a tragedy involving AI-to-human relationships and discuss the challenges parents face as children gain unrestricted access to AI tools.

The Roast With the Ghost

TW: This week’s episode discusses sensitive subject matter, including suicide.

Key Takeaways:

AI taking on a life of its own: Children have unrestricted access to increasingly lifelike AI tools.
Pike Place Market is home to more than just vendors: It's rumored to house spirits from Seattle’s early days.
Kells yeah: Kells Irish Pub sits on a former mortuary and a former indigenous burial site – and is one of Seattle’s most haunted locations.
[00:09:30] “The thing is, the difference between what you were doing and what an AI is doing is you are interacting with real people. Message boards were human-to-human communication. It was just instantaneous. This is like, getting sucked into a video game that has no end.” – Brian
[00:18:00] "This thing (AI) has escaped containment." – Phillip
[00:25:22] “Brian’s developed a palate that's sophisticated enough to taste the ghost in Pike Place roast.” – Phillip
[00:03:35] "The building that Kells Pub exists in is the Butterworth and Sons building, which was not only a former mortuary, but it was also built on top of tribal burial grounds.” – Sarah
[00:40:00] “There's just there's so many elements here that would actually enable this sort of storytelling around the place.” – Brian
