*PREVIEW* Parallel Hooniverse feat. Dan McQuillan
Monday Jan 29, 2024
Monday Jan 29, 2024
Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice speak with Goldsmiths researcher Dan McQuillan, the author of 'Resisting AI: An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence' regarding the breathless optimism of politicians in the UK and elsewhere (particularly in Queensland, Australia) claiming they'll use AI to administer state benefits and services. Probably not a good idea!

As A Large Language Howitzer,
Tuesday Jan 23, 2024
Tuesday Jan 23, 2024
For this week’s free episode, Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Nate discuss the recent news that ChatGPT has both dropped its official guidelines around working with weapons systems and also entered into a partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense. This is notionally to help reduce veteran suicide, but as Riley indicates, there are plenty of combat uses that are probably going to get integrated, even (or especially) if they’re bad. We also do a quick UK politics check (did you know populism is over in the UK?) and discuss a Spectator article yearning for a Tory government willing to change everything back to imperial units.

Things Can Only Get Sensible
Tuesday Jan 16, 2024
Tuesday Jan 16, 2024
This week, we’ve got Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice discussing a bathroom-related AI startup, the impending election year in the UK, new Government policy facilitating the sell-off of all local council assets and properties, and a recent speech by Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer KC about why we cannot actually solve any problems.

*PREVIEW* 700 Miles an Hour Into Your Ass feat. Justin Roczniak
Friday Jan 12, 2024
Friday Jan 12, 2024
For this week's bonus, Justin Roczniak of the Well There's Your Problem podcast joins the assembled cast of Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice to discuss the formal and total shuttering of HyperLoop. Because it was never a real thing, but it sure did make a lot of annoying people and related billionaires claim we didn't need high-speed rail!

Honk If You’re Honu feat. Dr Gareth Fearn
Wednesday Jan 03, 2024
Wednesday Jan 03, 2024
This week’s episode is the first free one of 2024 and was recorded before the new year; it features Riley, Milo, and Alice discussing the UK government’s attempts to make schools officially practice cruelty to trans kids as a matter of policy. Also discussed: an AI startup that wants to automate the entirety of business from start to finish, and a separate segment where Riley and Dr Gareth Fearn discuss the state of planning and development the UK. Why is it so labyrinthine and difficult, and why does it serve the default UK line of ‘better things aren’t possible?’ All this and more, in this episode.

*UNLOCKED* Trashfuture Live - The Nadine Dorries Book (RIP Riley’s Tummy)
Tuesday Dec 26, 2023
Tuesday Dec 26, 2023
In this unlocked bonus episode, Alice, Milo, Nate and Hussein are once again LIVE at Between The Bridges, sadly without Riley because Nadine Dorries' book destroyed his gastrointestinal system. However, undeterred, Alice read the book and her stomach was made of stronger stuff. Milo was also able to simulate Riley using Chat GPT so it's almost like he's there...

Woslam’s Reverse Hierarchy of Needs feat. Mattie Lubchansky
It's the last regular episode of the year and we've brought on friend of the show and premium points member Mattie Lubchansky to discuss...well, a lot of things: Adam Neumann's new sensitive landlord venture that's totally not a cult, the sentencing statement of Nikola electric truck company CEO Trevor Milton after his conviction for securities fraud, and our despised but eternally entertaining recurring character: NYC mayor Eric Adams.
