Summary

For this week's bonus, it's full-court press of useless tech: reactionaries' trying and failing to turn Elon Musk's ultra gen X large language model transphobic; Wes Streeting getting dazzled by an app in Singapore, and a surveillance tech company riding the wave of teen vape interdiction and kicking people out of public housing.

that is sort of a lot of a tech ethos, right? It's very much been about like telling anyone

0:04.0

that stands in your way to go fuck yourself. And in a particular period of time where they

0:07.9

had access to infinite money, that was very much possible. There are lots of story. You know,

0:12.2

I think like there's a, so much of like the contemporary history of San Francisco is built on

0:17.0

tech guys telling people to go fuck themselves. And so there is an instant, this is like one of the first instances for these types of

0:23.4

guys where they can't really get away with that.

0:26.9

And so, and if the best you can do is call someone a nimbie, and it's just like, well, you

0:31.8

know, and again, the sort of whole like online, offline kind of debate, I can only imagine

1:01.6

You can't do it.

1:04.8

It's fully, fully...

1:07.0

Thank you.
