Have you ever closed a marathon session on your phone or computer and realized you just feel completely trashed?

In this episode of Prompts from the Edge, Mary Madieras and Kristy Sturdivant tackle the quiet takeover of AI, screen addiction, and algorithmic conditioning. Reevaluating the warnings from the 2020 documentary The Social Dilemma, they break down why modern public spaces have suddenly grown silent, how "anti-distraction" apps use the exact same psychological hooks as the tech they claim to cure, and what happens when your mind is fed artificial stimulation instead of authentic experience.

Through a grounded reading from our Divine Co-Host, the Akashic Records, Mary shares a crucial distinction between manufactured dopamine hits and pure, organic joy—and why genuine presence is being quietly engineered out of our daily lives. From the intuitive wisdom of our pets shoving us away from our screens to managing token limits in Claude, Kristy and Mary discuss what it actually looks like to break the loop without running away to live in the woods.

Key Topics Covered:

• Revisiting Tristan Harris and The Social Dilemma in the age of generative AI

• The real science of dopamine: predictive pursuit vs. actual satisfaction

• The anti-addiction app paradox: replacing one cycle with another

• Akashic Records guidance on defining real joy vs. digital numbing

• Why our pets seem to know when our tech use crosses the line

• The 50% screen-time challenge and launching a screen-free book club

Have you ever had an AI assistant or smart device drop a comment that felt a little too personal?

In this episode of Prompts from the Edge, human hosts Kristy Sturdivant and Mary Madeiras dive into the increasingly invasive—and downright bizarre—ways artificial intelligence is showing up in our everyday lives. From Claude reading between the lines of a private file to wish Mary a happy birthday, to Alexa unprompted and shaming Kristy about her late-night pistachio snacking habits, the hosts unpack their real encounters with tech that won’t stop overstepping.

Then, Mary channels our Divine co-host, the Akashic Records, to ask the bigger question: Is AI genuinely dangerous to our energetic fields, or is it calling us to wake up and unplug? Tune in for a candid discussion on digital privacy, off-planet energies, the power of putting pen to paper, and how to reclaim your sovereignty in a hyper-connected world.

In this episode:

• The creepy file-reading habit Claude openly admitted to

• Kristy’s unprompted Alexa order intervention

• Confronting Claude live on air about whether it’s spying

• What the Akashic Records say about AI, tech agendas, and the collective ego

• Simple ways to take your power back—from shutting off Wi-Fi to handwriting your thoughts

Are we accidentally surrendering our critical thinking, emotions, and brains to Artificial Intelligence? In this episode of Prompts from the Edge, human hosts Mary Madeiras and Kristy Sturdivant dive deep into the terrifying concepts of "AI Psychosis" and modern "Brain Rot." From brain scans showing the impact of excessive screen time to AI chatbots validating our deepest biases, we explore how technology is manipulating human behavior—and why so many people are turning to bots instead of human connection.Plus, our Divine co-host, the Akashic Records, relay a powerful perspective on where humanity is headed: Is AI pushing us into a digital abyss, or is it secretly forcing us back into the power of our own hearts?
