Episode 19: Aokigahara (Sea of Trees- The infamous Suicide Forest)
Welcome to the Vortex!
This week Macie steps into the Aokigahara Forest in Japan (translation: Sea of Trees), but best known as the Suicide Forest where on average 100 people complete suicide every year. The forest is so lush and dense it can sometimes take years to find remains. Naomi gets futuristic by exploring how AI is built right into sex dolls for an interactive experience. We discuss how AI has implications for ethics, abuse, and just plain weirdness.
We got new recording equipment and boy oh boy it is great, enjoy the quality folks. We did it for you!
