Back to EpisodesEvil Genius Chronicles Podcast for February 27 2026 - How Clean Can Your Hands Be In This Dirty Dirty World?
Description
On this show, I play a song from Gently Bruised; I am throwing myself an AI Tea Party; I deleted my Open AI account and disconnected everything; LLMs make everything a commodity; generative AI undermines objective truth and enables tyranny; it's easy to trick monopolists into a monopoly; AI tensions hit science fiction writers and electronics suppliers; having gotten Github Actions working, I am leaving Github for Forgejo; all my repositories are now self-hosted; Gen X gets to retire into a fascist nation; deep risks are happening; which of my possessions do I really need? I am considering getting rid of some comics; I'm not doing free labor to fill out your surveys; we aren't speaking Esperanto.
