Ed Zitron returns to discuss how a Chinese hedge fund created an AI model that accomplished much of what OpenAI’s frontier model can do, and Sam Alrman’s best idea is to apply the “kind of gets it right sometimes” energy of LLMs to running your life. Also, grand theft luggage is rife in Lisbon airport, Masayoshi Son makes a bad investment, and Rupert Grint’s new app “Grinted” makes a splash.

Molly White joins Hussein, Riley, and November to talk about the role of Cryptocurrency in the incoming administration, specifically synergising their desire to "trigger the libs" with their desperate need to grift the morlocks who worship them. Also, Cooler Screens' war with Walgreens heats up, a stand up comedy scene develops on the moon, and yes - any hand gesture Elon makes is by definition a Nazi one.

Ciaran and Nick from Corner Spaeti join the gang to discuss the inauguration of the 47th President of the United States, and what that means for the UK, Germany, and more or less all of humanity. Also, Alice Weidel isn’t gay, she’s just married to a woman; Cypriot Mister Beast enters a combat zone; and Peter Mandelson wishes upon a Monkey’s Paw.

The UK Government’s AI Opportunities Action Plan / Please, Please Invest In Us So It Can Be 1999 Again Plan has been launched, and it will give the UK the superpower to know ahead of time where potholes will emerge, before not filling them anyway. Also, Australians total their cars, we invent a new legal concept called “Magician’s Privilege,” and the world historical cruelty and ineptitude of the Biden administration is laid bare as a ceasefire deal finally emerges in Gaza.

We check in on old friend Volocopter, a company we assume is going from strength to strength as the official air taxi partner of Neom! Where a later reading indicates that eight year olds are driving trucks. Also, the UK is in economic crisis again, and we don’t even have the fun of a bathrobe soiling-prime minister.

Must we live in a world where everyone decides we want AI-generated friends to make AI-generated stories (which are fake), or AI-enabled kitchen appliances? When you actually dig into this stuff, it turns out everyone knows it sucks and we hate it. Today’s guest is friend of the show Jason Koebler of 404 Media, who has done the legwork to examine just how stupid it is. Plus, we talk about Elon Musk’s new fixation on the UK, and that strangely sexual, AI-generated video of anthropomorphic animal cops that [Neil Kinnock voice] the Labour Party published?

We are joined by Hesse Deni (@ZeroSuitCamus) of the Seeking Derangements and Movie Mindset podcasts to discuss A VERY ROYAL SCANDAL, another installment of British TV movies dramatizing the Prince Andrew Newsnight interview…but this time with an inexplicable voice. No, literally, what is going on with the way they’ve depicted Emily Maitlis’ voice? It’s a baffling assembly.
