Nick Seetharaman—former Air Force signals intelligence operator, joins the Shawn Ryan Show to discuss the explosive rise of AI swarms, autonomous cyber warfare, and the terrifying reality of asymptotic attack velocity. From large language models developing emergent behaviors and long-term memory to nation-state cyber weapons powered by AI, Nick breaks down how fast the battlefield is changing—and why defense is struggling to keep up. He also shares his deeply personal journey from a turbulent childhood marked by abuse and instability, to 9/11-era military service, and eventually building cyber defense programs at SpaceX, Palantir, and Anduril—offering a raw conversation about fatherhood, identity, resilience, and the future of human consciousness in the age of artificial intelligence.
