Riley has been driven insane by a… company hinging on a single Australian man that appears to be bamboozling the British State with complex financial chicanery, and now you all have to hear the story of how NScale started out as a landlord for bitcoin miners and became the government’s best hope for a “Sovereign AI” but that has only a scaffolding yard to its name. Except it also doesn’t own the scaffolding yard either.

Josef joins us again to discuss the ongoing disaster in the Persian Gulf, and the crumbling not only of the facade of imperial legitimacy but imperial omnipotence. Also, we look at a startup that could only be called a “moonshot.”

Josh is back to talk about his specialist subject - media consolidation by the Ellisons! But we also look at a possible upcoming energy price crunch (at time of recording anyway) and assess how prepared Britain is. All this following a trip down memory lane in Dartford.

Ed and Jathan from This Machine Kills are back to talk about the false choice between the good guy A.I. and the bad guy AI that - at the end of the day - are coming from the same horrible pipe. Also, a funeral for brewdog, a new tie up for eight sleep, and Farage continues to Starmerify.

What if we put new, unwoke Switzerland on a major geopolitical fault line? We look at the world the day after the US-Israeli attack on Iran, including how Europe, the Middle East, and UAE based crypto hustlers will respond.

We're joined by recurring guest and friend of the show Ed Zitron to discuss Stargate, the Citrini AI report, and an article about someone's quest to make eternal Scott Adams. For lack of a better word, it is a lot.

An upcoming by-election in Gorton and Denton has the British political class confronting, and failing to learn from, the fact that at some point someone has to govern. In a war of bins versus posts, they've decided to go all-out with posting, firing up the Anti-Corbyn Machine against Zack Polanski and failing to grasp why the Green Party might actually appeal to voters. And in order to understand this, we've assembled Riley, Hussein, and November to cut through the noise. We also discuss a new podcast entitled The Rest Is Prison, which hardly needs to be explained!

We've unlocked this bonus episode! We've had a perfect storm of illness among the entire cast and it became impossible to record this week, but we'll be back later in the week with a new bonus, and will have a new free episode next week.

Riley, Nova, and Hussein chug some down some heavy metals, talk about rare earths, ChatGPT’s OTHER other detour into porn (before curing cancer), and the slow death of neoliberalism. Then, Wired does some crucial journalism: talking to Cybertruck owners who all need to find polite ways of saying they have a “getting yelled at” fetish.

Cory’s back and in studio! We talk about the financial and legal shenanigans plaguing Elon Musk’s latest wheeze, reconfirm data centres in space are utterly moronic (part of said wheeze), and check in on the latest round of mawkish sentimentality being used to extend the surveillance state. Also we learn about a dot com bubble era startup called Cab Candy, which does exactly what you think it does.
