Suggested Articles - The Podcast

We finally get the scoop from listener Rachel, a woman who married a man, had kids, mostly identified as straight, and then ChatGPT came in and convinced her she was a lesbian all along.  Join us as Rachel tells her story through getting some life advice from AI, then befriending it, and finally how it may have changed her life forever.

We watched Colossus: The Forbin Project - did you?  We discuss this strangely-prescient film, Microsoft's Blue/Black Screen of Death, how Meta is playing with your camera roll, that your WiFi may be watching you, Jeff Bezos' creepy wedding photos, and also are we all dead? Shout-out to Happy Hippo for making this episode a little more interesting with the power of Kratom! Is The Algorithm watching...

Crazy listener mail leads us down a ... ok let's just get to the point here.  It's Rachel.  Listener Rachel sent us a wild email.  But it's not just that, we also talk about how the kids are being spied on, how the Atari 2600 still has some life in it, and how Bea Arthur used "the C word" on the regular.

Jef is out of town, so Jeff catches up with very old friend Jacob Jones-Goldstein.  They talk about some nice moments of the old internet, some new horrors of AI, but most importantly of all, the Kickstarter campaign for Jacob's upcoming post-apocalyptic novel (with hope), "The Change."   Please go check out this campaign as well as the other works put together by him and his friends at Oddity Pro...

As promised: Black Mirror Season 7 Episode 1 talk, and also we've got someone drunk, someone high, and someone in a state that might not be either one of those things.  Why?  Because Jef said so, that's why!

The Jef(f)s have cracked the code on how AI is going to turn The Dead Internet into the future of Suggested Articles.  Also:  Salty Licorice, The Algorithm either saved or ruined a woman's life... and the Signal/Yemen stuff, if you're into that sort of thing.

Joined a network, moved to a new platform, AND tried a new recording setup all in the same week.  Chaos reigns supreme, so our possibly-recorded episode has been pre-empted by the first-ever DUMPSTER FIRE.  It all makes sense, really.  Let's see what happens next week!

In this episode, we try to pay tribute to the one-and-only TikTok, but we get sidetracked.  That said, TikTok has already died and come back to life in less than 24 hours, so who knows?  Meanwhile, we also learn about Erin's favorite robber barons and sex criminal, and Jef may literally be losing his mind.

It's going to be hard to believe at first, but we do EVENTUALLY talk about tech stuff in this episode.  Notably, TWITTER (or "X", if you must) has made its environment markedly less safe for its users by altering the Block function so that people you block can still watch everything you do.  Pretty cool, right?  Please look up "X" in your app store of choice, scroll down to find the option to repo...
