Podcast

A company selling cops AI undercover bots; a visit to the millennial saint; and the state of 404 Media.

The powerful database and tool ICE has access to; the AI service that will call your parents for you; and the apparent hack of 4chan.

How the FBI secretly ran a money laundering ring to catch hackers; a bunch of news on how the tariffs will impact the world; and the most illuminating book on Facebook in a long while.

Jason, Sam, and Emanuel talk about Miyazaki being turned into a meme, the guys suing OnlyFans after being surprised to learn they were not actually talking to models, and the depravity of "brainrot" AI.

What the 23andMe bankruptcy means for privacy; the website doxing Tesla owners; and that crazy Signal group chat story.

The sites an ICE contractor is pulling data from; why top scientists are considering leaving the U.S. for France, and why Super Nintendos are getting faster as they age.

We chat the lack of guardrails on China-based AI video models; how cops are using AI to summarize evidence from seized mobile phones; and the AI game that is making $50,000 a month.

We talk Cybertruck protests; IDs from Palau; and the big Instagram bug.

A rip off summary of Joseph's book, an AI startup dehumanizing workers; and a very particular AI video of Musk and Trump.

DOGE left its website backend exposed; lawyers own up to using AI; and a YouTube true crime documentary channel where all the murders are AI-generated.

This week we discuss a new Microsoft study that finds using generative AI is "atrophying" people's cognition and critical thinking skills, the right's war on Wikipedia, and, in the subscriber's section, the idea of posting against fascism.

We talk all about Musk's takeover of the federal government, including audio of a meeting we got touching a Musk ally's AI plans. Then, AI slop in libraries.
