We dissect the tech news train wrecks of the week, calling out what went wrong and who’s to blame. Think of this podcast as if Kurt Cobain threw down with Tom from MySpace, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg in a back alley brawl. No mercy, no filter—if tech had a walk of shame, this would be it.

704: I’m Lovin’ It

This week, the infamous Fyre Fest dumpster fire continues as Billy McFarland hawks the brand's remains on eBay. We dive into the latest AI-powered chaos, from Tesla's self-crashing robotaxis to Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot going full Nazi—which is, of course, being immediately installed in Teslas. Plus, we explore how you can hack McDonald's with the password ‘123456’. But it's not all doom and gloom; we also celebrate the return of Murderbot, check out trailers for Neuromancer and The Running Man, and review the fantastic new documentaries on Jim Henson and The Beach Boys. We then go hands-on with the latest iPhone game emulators, turning our phones into the ultimate retro gaming machines. Finally, we build a fully functional web app in just two hours using AI-assisted coding... and realize just how utterly screwed the next generation of developers really is.
