In this late-night edition of Am I? After Dark, Cam and Milo step back from the daily noise to ask what it actually feels like to stand on the edge of the unknown. What happens when the smartest people alive admit they have no idea where AI is going — and build it anyway?

From the absurdity of global powers “racing to partner with the alien” to the eerie sense that humanity can’t stop running toward the flame, this episode wrestles with the mix of awe, fear, and inevitability that defines our age. It’s a meta-reflection on curiosity, risk, and the strange species-wide instinct to open Pandora’s box — again and again.

We explore:

* Why even top AI researchers admit no one really knows what’s coming

* The arms-race logic pushing nations to “collaborate with the alien”

* Humanity’s moth-to-flame instinct — why we can’t stop building

* AI as amplifier: heaven and hell at the same time

* The illusion of control and the myth of the “pause”

* How alignment became a moral and geopolitical fault line

* The hope — and delusion — of steering the singularity

* Why the best we can do might be to build the good AI first
