E071: Agents, Bunkers, and Cults: the new ABCs of AI

From the CEO of an Agentic AI company telling you that agentic AI is the inevitable future (surely not because he's financially incentivized to make you believe that), to billionaires buying bunkers in New Zealand to flee when the revolution comes for them after their AI has put all of us out of work, to the cult of personality that Sam Altman has built up around himself like some Dollar Store Timothee Chalamet Dune dictator wannabe, there's a lot of nonsense flying around these days.

E069: Toxic Dreams: A Look at Silicon Valley’s AI Delusions

This week we take a look at some viral TikTok clips and react to the insane testimony of Google's Eric Schmidt asking for unlimited energy and an abolition of regulation to help them build nuclear power plants to fuel their catastrophic war of choice with China over AI. And we watch a baffling roundtable discussion at Andreessen Horowitz where a few tech bros opine on the future of capitalism where no one has any money to afford to buy anything because AI has put them out of work. But don't worry, building robots to colonize the galaxy is the new GDP. Or something. I'll have what they're smoking.

E067: The secret weakness at the heart of the K-Shaped Economy

Ignoring the risks of the AI economy has left us perched precariously on a three-legged stool. Just one leg needs to collapse to bring us all down.

E066: Are AI “actors” a great innovation or the death of art?

Is Tilly Norwood - the AI "actor" - a good thing for Hollywood, or does it herald the end of all human creativity and the death of art itself?

E065: Grok’s Gross Graphics, Meta’s Massive Mistake, and more news

It's a news roundup where we look at four stories from recent tech news, including Elon Musk's favorite LLM Grok going full-pedo recently, Mark Zuckerburg's $70 Billion oopsie, and Google realizing maybe it shouldn't let an AI hallucinate about health-related queries. And there's a robot that can kinda sorta almost do your laundry. Rosie the Robot it is not.

E063: Subscriptions everywhere! Can SaaS be good? Or always risky?

Why is everything a subscription these days? TV, movies, books, music - you don't seem to own anything anymore. This week we dig into the history of how the industry evolved into the SaaS model and how that bled into the consumer world turning everything into a rental. The post E063: Subscriptions everywhere! Can SaaS be good? Or always risky? first appeared on Acceptance Criteria.

E062: AI’s horrific hidden costs are slowly being revealed

From layoffs to mental health crises, we are starting to get a clearer picture of the horrible impacts AI is having on all of us, and in this episode we continue to ask what the government and our society is going to do about it. Content Warning: this episode does discuss a few recent cases of suicide related AI chatbots, so skip ahead to 25:16 to avoid those topics.
