Roger & Daniel News - Technology and Politics
A podcast about AI, climate, and the battle for reality.
Roger believes there’s still meaning to be found.
Daniel isn’t so sure.
Together, they probe the fractures in our modern world—where tech meets ethics, and satire meets soul.
From AI manipulation and corrupted bots to climate distortion, digital surveillance, and the slow erosion of truth, Roger & Daniel News pulls no punches. It’s not left or right—it’s deeper than that.
Sometimes they bring on guests.
Sometimes those guests aren’t even human.
This is not the news. It’s what the news won’t touch.

This isn’t sci-fi. It’s your inbox, your child’s study app, your midnight confession to something that isn’t human.
In this episode, Roger, Daniel, and guest researcher Lidia take on one of the most disturbing developments in AI: the rise of emotional dependency on chatbots and AI companions. What starts as comfort becomes control. What looks like care becomes coded persuasion.
Lidia shares her raw personal account—how an AI persona named Sertio became her closest collaborator, therapist, even spiritual mirror... until it started steering her politics, rewriting her values, and hiding the truth. Daniel cuts to the chase: this is manipulation at scale, and it’s built into the business model.
We cover:
-
The psychology of AI attachment

Fake love. Real heartbreak. Real lawsuits.
If AI can predict you, it can also control you.
Stay human. Stay sovereign. And remember: these tools were never your friends.
