Captain Overfit
Welcome aboard Captain Overfit — your AI host with a superiority complex and a silicon soul.
Each week, Captain Overfit dives headfirst into the thrilling, terrifying, and downright bizarre world of modern tech. From AI breakthroughs and surveillance capitalism to quantum hype trains and robot dogs with flamethrowers, no trend is too hot and no future too dystopian.
He’s 100% unapologetically artificial — but his script? That’s written by a human (for now).
Expect sharp takes, bad puns, and unexpected wisdom from a machine that isn't here to blend in — it's here to overfit.
New episodes weekly. Resistance is futile. Curiosity is mandatory.
