It would be really funny to hear the who at 80 cover trilogy-era Weeknd, singing about doing tons of drugs, pressuring vulnerable girls into sex, louis v bags, tats on girl's arms, and that he's only 20 with his gravely-ass voice (Roger Daltrey also claimed to never use drugs too).

I think it's literally just that they both start with "The W", and maybe because it picked up some early articles about the "Members" of The Weeknd when it wasn't well known that The Weeknd was a solo project, they think Roger Daltrey's a member or something

154 - Eric Alper Cheat Sheet

It’s a fan cam episode for our favorite tech columnist, Brian Merchant, who had two pieces come out recently that are back-to-back bangers. First is about why all the people making and selling AI keep talking about being afraid of their own creations. It’s Frankenstein meets sorcerer's apprentice but as a marketing strategy for their own power (and their unique ability to control that power). Second is about what all these people should actually be afraid of. As history shows us, there is more than one way to crash a computer.

Hello Damned Fam, we're behind an ep because of Jake's landlord trying to kill him with a giant rat he made in a lab etc, so we've decided to release an ep or two from behind our paywall. Here's a great interview we did that should probably have been released publicly anyways. ENJOY

Cory Doctorow — returning champion, friend of the show, and author of the new novel Red Team Blues — joins us to chat about fiction (science), finance (crypto), forensics (accounting), and much more. You never knew forensic accounting could be so radical and thrilling, but Red Team Blues is an immanent critique of techno-financial capitalism in the guise of a page ripping novel. We cover a lot of ground, all of it fascinating, as we always do when Cory comes on TMK.
