Listen Later

On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam and Ivan talk about Twitter's slow implosion again, the impending injection of AI Chatbots into search results, more on spy balloons, and Ivan goes on one of his trademarked epic rants, this time about Section 230. Plus some riffing on Minority Report type technology, and curmudgeonly complaints about aging. Fun stuff. Woo!
