Episode 174 - The Eps Files

Ambitious Crossover Attempt

Noam and Jen tackle one of the more insane weeks in internet discourse. First, we have Grok going a little off the rails and becoming MechaHitler for 16 hours. Does its meltdown say more about AI, or the humans that it learns from?

Then we have the Man Who Never Dies, Jeffrey Epstein, who did not make any lists or files and did indeed kill himself. At least according to the DOJ and the FBI, members of which assured all of us for years that there was indeed a list, files, and that Epstein did not kill himself. We talk about how MAGA is right to be mad, how everyone involved deserves what is happening, and why anyone offered up a definitive answer in the first place.

Last, we discussed the very controversial movie Superman. Not controversial because it's James Gunn's first outing for DC (but that too) but because people on the internet cannot just let things be.
