Jono Bacon and Stuart Langridge present Bad Voltage, in which Jeremy is sadly unwell (get well soon Jezza!) and so we in theory look at the latest news but actually spend three quarters of the show on one topic! This is what happens when there’s no Jeremy to keep us on track. Including:
[00:00:00] Intro
[00:00:32] Stuart and Jono are old
[00:05:25] Project Stargate: a whole bunch of companies club together to potentially invest a load of money in AI technologies. We get into the weeds a bit on whether this is a good idea, and the position of large tech companies within the zeitgeist (NB: this was recorded before the recent DeepSeek release, which would have come up in this conversation!)
[00:39:19] UK considers banning ransomware payouts in public sector — is this a good idea? Is it a bad idea but still better than all the others? A troubling question!
[00:50:32] Outro
We’re on Mastodon! @badvoltage@mastodon.social!
