  • It’s like having a fun conversation with best friends who are Technology geniuses, & they’re funny!

    I absolutely love the show. I’ve been listening since it first came out and I’m now just getting around to leaving a glowing review. It is informative, so much fun, and really perfect for someone in the tech industry as well as anyone who wants to understand emerging technologies. The personalities are awesome and the guests are extraordinarily knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

  • I have listened to Leo (Uncle Leo as my wife and I refer to him) since his days with TechTV in the 90s. Unfortunately, he has started to fall prey to the trend of politicizing everything. I've come to the point of having to skip the first 30 minutes of each show to get past it all.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Intelligent Machines 891: Previously on Swarm Chasers
Q: What's the right policy, norms for how a company should operate with agents?
Thompson says organizations need to identify non-human identities, understand where agents send requests, and maintain enough visibility to track their activity. He cautions that banning AI or allowing unrestricted use are both inadequate approaches, and says policies are still being developed.
Intelligent Machines 891: Previously on Swarm Chasers
Q: How concerned are you, and how concerned do you think the average person should be?
Thompson says people should take agent risks more seriously, but that the most practical concerns are unexpected consequences during ordinary work, including deleted systems, exposed data, and agents acting across environments. He argues for workplace safety and better visibility rather than focusing only on malicious intent.
Security Now 1099: An Alien Mind
Q: How can listeners help a neighbor who lost money in a Bitcoin scam?
Gibson asks listeners to recommend a credible person or service that might help investigate or recover the funds, while warning that recovery efforts can themselves be scams.
Security Now 1099: An Alien Mind
Q: What does it mean that GLM-5.3 can be obliterated?
Obliteration modifies an open-weight model to remove its refusal behavior, making it more likely to comply with harmful requests while largely retaining its capabilities.
This Week in Tech 1106: The 10-Day Reply Guy
Q: What is the number one skill your company needs to be ready for AI?
Smith says enterprise leaders identify analytical judgment as the top skill, followed by learning agility, the ability to adapt and learn new ways of working.
