Sorry for the late drop on this episode, blame xmas.
Our most favoritest, hatedest, big, scary, technopolist, war-profiteer freak-a-zoid, Palmer Luckey, is back in the news AGAIN. Believe me when I say that I truly do hate talking about this guy, but until the general public gets hip to what this psycho is up to, I feel like we have a duty to continue covering him.

We talk about the recently posted, and quickly pulled, McDonald's AI-generated Christmas ad. I thought we would just rag on it and move onto other material, but it ended up sparking an interesting discussion about how even advertising now seems emblematic of our collective, societal, continual descent further and further into the pits of hell.

We take a not-so-deep dive into BTL Industries, and explore a few of their really awesome and super safe looking bio-tech contraptions. Also some fun stories, reminiscing about Dr. Mario, and a broken basement pipe.

Tech that doesn't do what you want it to, now in two exciting new flavors! One part enshitification, one part techno-dystopia... what's not to like! Also, David doubles down on some previously expressed opinions on travel.

We had a good time palling around for a while before buckling up and tearing into an interesting article. LLM's like ChatGPT and such are making people over-confident. Some skills are developed and refined from engaging with the technology, but they remain well overshadowed by how good people feel they have gotten, according to new research. Something of a "no duh" at first glance, an unconventionally agreeable article manages to spur some interesting discussion this week.

We revisit one of our favorite topics, enshitification (I'm assuming I don't have to self-censor because this word is in articles and stuff now). We read an article by a guy that we agree with but also kinda hate. Fun times. Oh yeah, and Harry died this week but he'll be back.

To further commemorate us hitting episode 100 we are unlocking another Patreon episode for free here. This is one of my personal favorites, so you BETTER ENJOY IT. A lot of silly wacky goofy stuff at the top of the ep, and then we discus some straight up sci-fi horror movie crap. Description from the original Patreon post:
Some super smart science people figured out how to create unimaginable existential horrors for a few unlucky syntho-brains, and potentially also for our collective human consciousness and karmic ledger... but that's just, like, our opinion. You be the judge.

Is making fun of Cybertruck owners low-hanging fruit? Perhaps. But damn is it still fun as hell. That plus some cool and non-psychotic tips to help you make friends and endear yourself to others. Both articles this week are very silly, this was a fun ep to record.

Our favorite guy to clown on is back in the news, and apparently already redacted the stuff he said that made headlines... because that is what strong-willed men of principles and good moral constitution do. They also like to flee, and cry like babies even when they get their way. What a joker. Make sure to hit up the Patreon for part 2.

Harry walks us through some of the most insane internet drama imaginable, that involves workers rights, social media, the recent Trump memorandum about what can now be considered terrorism (spoiler: apparently anything), and a certain tween girl mall chain earring store that shall not be named. A truly American story that boggles the mind, and strains the heart.

Before it disappears from the news cycle entirely we wanted to give the recently released Jeffrey Epstein birthday book a proper treatment here on the pod. David took the major psychological L of combing over all 238 pages of the bday book, so you don't have to. This week's episode is a little more dry than usual, but we wanted to give our listeners a proper, straightforward presentation of what the hell is in this extremely weird book, since most of what is already out there is reaction-style youtube slop.
Also, you're getting this a day early... just cuz.

David made a new friend at the barbershop. We read an article about how J.P. Morgan is gonna make a really cool big office building thingy that doesn't resemble a prison at all. Midnight snacks anyone???? We get mad and rant a lot. The powers that be want to turn you into into goo for profit.
