TAM! It's got the code it's going to launch!

It's a unit system. I know this.

It's how all the files of the whole park. It tells you everything.

Sir, he's uploading the virus.

Eagle One, the package is being delivered.

Hello out there on the internet. I am Matthew Galt, and this is Cyber.

Today's episode is an action-packed double feature that feels like it's been pulled

directly from a cyberpunk novel. That's right. Today's episode is all about railway strikes and killer robots.

It's hard to be a railway worker in America. The schedules are a nightmare. They're the kind

of working conditions that can make someone real sick. Just don't try to use your sick days.

So facing a railway strike, Congress passed legislation to prevent it, all at the behest of the White House.

And we'll get into that. And then we'll also talk about San Francisco, the city by the bay, has written rules for killer robots.

S.F. won't have the first police department in America that's killed someone with a killer robot.

It'll just be the first with rules.

With me today to talk about all of this is Motherboard's senior writer, Aaron Gordon.

He's been following both stories.

The railway strike for more than a year, you may remember he was on the show in April, I believe,

talking about the horrifying conditions of America's rail workers, and well, here we are.

Aaron, thank you so much for coming on to motherboard or coming on to cyber and walking us through this.

You're always on motherboard.

It's a pleasure as always.

All right, so let's start with this railway, I don't know why I can't say that.
