  • Change for the worse

    Jonathan had become barely tolerable. I remember the days when he took time to learn CIDR notation and explain it. The new hosts go out of their way to squeeze in their sexual identity. 80% of the new content is about some vague concept disguised as "tech stuff". Calling this podcast "Tech Stuff" is like calling Star Wars SciFi instead of a Space Opera.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Story: Everyone in Hollywood Already Uses AI
Q: Is it fair to fear that AI will take over filmmaking altogether?
It's reasonable to be afraid, although the urge to create art won't disappear; as AI takes over certain jobs, it could diminish the incentive to create serious art.
The Story: Everyone in Hollywood Already Uses AI
Q: What were people saying to you in your piece and in your reporting about the future of the quote unquote Hollywood workforce?
Concerns about job loss due to AI are prevalent, but pinpointing specific reasons is complicated; AI excels at tasks like writing script analyses, which could diminish the need for junior executives.
TechStuff Redux: Mars, Asterisk w/ Nathaniel Rich
Q: What were the main goals of the NASA isolation experiment?
To test psychological endurance and prepare for future human missions to Mars.
TechStuff Redux: Mars, Asterisk w/ Nathaniel Rich

The Story: Russian Bots vs American Gamblers
Q: What is your perspective on the role of AI in gambling today?
