In this episode of Barely Media, Rique and Chaz break down three developments that feel less like progress and more like a soft warning.

Birth in a Waymo A baby was reportedly born inside a Waymo self driving car, forcing the hosts to accept that autonomous vehicles may also be the birthing suites of the future. Questions include whether surge pricing applies and if the car rates the parents afterward.

Rique and Chaz discuss what happens when childhood icons meet generative AI and why this feels like something legal teams are pretending is not a problem.

Knives Out Not in Theaters With Knives Out skipping theaters in favor of streaming, the conversation spirals into a debate about what the real assault on humanity is. Is it Netflix buying Warner Bros or the existence of 67 holiday ornaments.
