I'm clever and I don't have an edge, mate.

Yes, cheers, Arthur - I got the full Alexei Sayle Imaginary Sandwich Bar through Fourble.

 

A recommended podcast is Sound Opinions, out of Chicago.  They go through classic albums, albeit through an American lens - they'd prefer to reference New York Dolls than Siouxsie and the Banshees for example - but they are good, knowledgeable presenters.  There is a back catalogue of 650+ podcasts, but the ones I've listened to have been excellent.

Very clever, can tell you've been listening to Sean Carroll.

[Dr Arthur De Sabre]

Glad folks are onto fourble, not everything seems to work, but days of good stuff.

 

Darknet Diaries & Hacking Himans are good for geeking out on cyber crime.

Henry Rollins on Rogan is quite good, he's a strange but interesting bloke.

Anyone listen to Chapo Trap House? It's very 'online' humour but cracks me up consistently.

Haven’t got around to it yet but I’ve been meaning to. The majority report and the Michael brooks show are also both very excellent if you’re into that kind of thing

[lifetime fan]

The latest mafia one is brilliant.

I’m 5 miles into that, they’ve scared me shitless about AI.

[Hades]

I hope he's right.

Fuck me. Some of us are having a good time.

 

10 miles in and I want a Tesla

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Elon Musk is amazing

[Numero Veinticinco]

I like Musk, but I didn’t much enjoy that interview that made ch.

[Boss]

He's either playing a persona or he's bought into the cult of personality that follows him and thinks every single word he says has deep profound implications.

 

*long silence* "I try to convince people to slow down, slow down AI, to regulate AI, this was futile, I tried for years, nobody listened"

Cult of personality? Mmm

 

I think he’s on the spectrum.

Yeah, I think you might be right.

Not a fan of musk for many reason, though admittedly he does have some interesting ideas. Couldn’t get through more than half hour of that, it’s clear he’s having a bit of a mental breakdown - never nice to see. Especially when it’s so public.

[moof]

Joe’s reverence for him is quite funny and endearing. Better than worshipping Sam Harris

[Elite]

Is it worth a listen or not then?

[Numero Veinticinco]

Is it worth a listen or not then?

Not really, I’d just google his views on simulation and some of his Space X stuff about becoming a multi planetary species, if you haven’t already seen it.

I was dissapointed with the Neil Degrass Tyson one, he's obviously delving deeper up his own arse.

[Rico1304]

Is it worth a listen or not then?

It’s ok, don’t think there’s anything new or ground breaking in there (certainly not in the first 1.5 hours). Probably not deep enough for the clever kids on here.

He’s morphing into Brian Blessed.

[Hades]

Musk isn't on the spectrum, he's an engineer. These are people that spend their lives finding the most efficient way to solve problems and have concluded that following norms of social interaction are inefficient to achieving their goals. He said himself he's not a business guy.
