Wow If True

In this episode: Amanda tries to break Snapchat's AI by showing it... objects... that increasingly look more like... an eggplant emoji. Iz explains the connection between omegaverse, Ron DeSantis, and AI writing. Honestly, this is appropriate as all hell for the leadup to episode 69, our long-awaited magnum opus.

In this episode, we're skeeting all over the place, because sometimes, everything happens everywhere all at once. By that we mean: dril vs. Elon ultimate showdown (of ultimate destiny), bluesky (aka twitter 2) vs twitter (aka twitter 1), and Amanda vs. the mortifying ordeal of meeting Hank Green.

In this episode: Both hosts are in the same place! And that place is...Amanda's living room floor. Lots of reviews this week: Barbie trailer, Mario movie, Philly's new-ish conveyer belt sushi joint, and Amanda's apartment decor. Not everything has to be a fucking ordeal. Sometimes things can just be movies.

MSCHF has anime girl tax preparation software, Brandon Sanderson has a wizard supervillain lair, and Amanda has unsubstantiated hot takes about sports. Really. C’mon sport, let’s watch the big game. And by the big game, I mean, let’s get our taxes done by dating an anime girl.

We recommend making yourself a cheese toast before listening so that you don't get hungry for cheese toast, because we're talking about a 60-year-old retiree's cheese toast Facebook group. Also: SVB and the internet's reaction to SVB melting, FTX influencer lawsuits, and why English majors will inherit the earth. And no, we don't talk about the SAT for 30 minutes. No, seriously, our editor cut that bit. You're welcome.

In this episode, we discuss scifi magazines getting spammed by AI submissions (ironic, yes, we know), we talk with Jess (@whyjesswhyjess) about 1.2 million people seeing her naked, be-tatttoo'ed butt on twitter, and Iz's mom buys her an American Girl Doll even though she is twenty-seven. Normal Wednesday morning for Wow If True.

Real life archivist (and our editor!) Allison Mills tells us how we preserve the internet, prompting Amanda to have an existential crisis about memory. Then, we return to the "maybe NFTs are bad, actually" corner with an update on Metabirkins, the overpriced NFTs of the overpriced handbags, which met their fateful end in an historic court ruling.

We have merch now. But also we talk about events like the shutdown of twenty-year-old forum Stripperweb, that Seinfeld AI thing, the Korean spa, Brandon Sanderson, and how Amanda is now close personal friends with Brennan Lee Mulligan. Sort of. Also how the internet is simultaneously permanent and ephemeral at the same time and that's really a mindfuck, isn't it!? Most importantly, buy our merch. And vote for Isabel in the Locus Awards!

Well folks, there's no getting around it, this one's mostly about D&D. AKA the OGL two, sequel to OGL, 2 OGL 2 furious, dropped ten hours before we recorded and so of course we have to talk about copyright, derivative content, and how not to alienate your entire fanbase with one simple trick. Also, Shrek is there. Also, the pink sauce is back. You're welcome!
