Acceptance Criteria

This week we take a look at some viral TikTok clips and react to the insane testimony of Google's Eric Schmidt asking for unlimited energy and an abolition of regulation to help them build nuclear power plants to fuel their catastrophic war of choice with China over AI.

And we watch a baffling roundtable discussion at Andreessen Horowitz where a few tech bros opine on the future of capitalism where no one has any money to afford to buy anything because AI has put them out of work. But don't worry, building robots to colonize the galaxy is the new GDP. Or something. I'll have what they're smoking.

Is Tilly Norwood - the AI "actor" - a good thing for Hollywood, or does it herald the end of all human creativity and the death of art itself? Just a quick little debate we have this episode in reaction to a TikTok discussing the latest AI news out of California.

It's a news roundup where we look at four stories from recent tech news, including Elon Musk's favorite LLM Grok going full-pedo recently, Mark Zuckerburg's $70 Billion oopsie, and Google realizing maybe it shouldn't let an AI hallucinate about health-related queries. And there's a robot that can kinda sorta almost do your laundry. Rosie the Robot it is not.
