The first episode is live! I dig into the mission of the show, talk about the security vulnerabilities that hit last week, give an update on my switch to Linux, and take some listener Qs.

I think the most accurate thing I've heard about the AI industry was when we had @willsmith.fun on Engadget's podcast and he said that the first truly transformational AI product will probably emerge from the wreckage of the industry's first crash

Four things can be true at once: 1) AI is a very powerful tool. A huge technological advance. 2) It is toxically unpopular. In a democracy, you can't ignore public opinion 3) Like many major technologies, it's dangerous and needs strict government regulation 4) It might have boom and bust cycles.

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

I spent the last couple of days trying to get Davinci Resolve starting again after I updated my Linux PC to Noctalia v5. It wouldn't even get to the point that it was hitting logs, just a "log4cxx: Please initialize the log4cxx system properly." I just accidentally fixed it by running it as root 🤦‍♂️

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Multiple things are true here. This is a fascist, authoritarian administration. It has not yet fully consolidated power. Some of its efforts to do so have been frustrated. Trump is a doddering, confused egomaniac who started an unpopular war that's costing everyday people a lot of money.
