We are joined by Atlanta journalist George Chidi to discuss the situation at the Stop Cop City action in Atlanta which recently culminated in the police murder of an activist and forest protector. We also talk about Memphis and I promise some other less depressing stuff.

Keep the Dream Alive: One Year Later w/ John Vanderslice

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.
