We all want to hike safely, but is there a way to hike the safest? For some, the illusion of safety is lost when faced with the prospect of needing a rescue and the reality of the fine print.   In the same vein as 'Black Mirror,' 'Have a Better One' is a satirical glimpse into a dystopia where search and rescue, like your local car wash, works on a tiered service model.   A SLASR / Lost Pass Production   Voices:   Mrs. Stomp - Distressed hiker   Stomp - 911 operator, beedaloop debit card reader   Nick - Department of Conservation officer   Mike - Beedaloop debit card reader   Evelyn - Britnay   Dave Sh*ts - Russ Q   Script: Stomp & Dave Sh*ts   Sound: Stomp - Audio engineering, editing and production   Additional sound design provided by Zapsplat (trickling brook, forest, drone, hold music, ambulance siren)

Boy, have Matt and Eric got a vacation for you-you-you-you-you! WESTWORLD is up first on the 1970s sci-fi run - the classic Michael Crichton story of a cowboy theme park trying to kill you made long before he wrote the story about the dinosaur theme park trying to kill you!

In this episode of PGAP, we're joined by Michael D.B. Harvey, author of "The Age of Humachines: Big Tech and the Battle for Humanity's Future." Harvey offers a sobering perspective on the trajectory of modern technology - not towards a Star Trek-style utopia but into a hyper-neoliberal, corporate-driven dystopia shaped by Big Tech. His analysis strikes a chord with the Post-Growth community, which has long challenged the illusion that technology alone can rescue us from our social and ecological crises. Yet, Harvey is not fatalistic. He envisions a radically different future that is grounded in degrowth, steady-state economics, and a shared commitment to equity and ecological sustainability. The Age of Humachines explores how today's tech revolution increasingly shapes every aspect of our lives, introducing critical concepts like the Technocene (the possible successor to the Anthropocene), Smartheid societies, and CIMENT, a term Harvey uses to describe the dominant values of Competitive Individualism and Materialist Entitlement. In contrast, he proposes a new framework: SEWP (Sustainable, Equitable Wellbeing Planetwide), offering offering a hopeful lens through which we might transition toward an Ecocene future. _ Cover of 'The Age of Humachines'. You can purchase your copy, or find our more, HERE (https://steadystate.org/steady-state-press/the-age-of-humachines/). _ This conversation also provided PGAP co-hosts Mark Allen and Michael Bayliss the opportunity to reflect on their personal relationships with technology over the past three decades, from the optimism of the 1990s to the increasing unease of today's digital world. Michael D.B. Harvey holds qualifications in English Literature, Sociology, Psychology, Psychotherapy, and Organizational Psychology. He is also the author of Interactional Leadership: The Art of the Choice-Focused Leader and Utopia in the Anthropocene: A Change Plan for a Sustainable and Equitable World. Harvey's connections include the Centre for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy (CASSE (https://steadystate.org/)), who helped make this interview possible. If this episode resonated with you, we highly recommend picking up a copy of The Age of Humachines [HERE] (https://steadystate.org/steady-state-press/the-age-of-humachines/), and checking out Harvey's engaging talks and interviews on YouTube, e.g. [HERE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjJxC7_8qI0)].

This episode features a sample of his song “Standing Up for Being Huma (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI1nKpWTdNs&list=RDrI1nKpWTdNs&start_radio=1)n.” We'd love to hear your thoughts on the future of technology.

Experts warn AI and transhumanist biotech may render humans economically inessential, creating a “useless class” as machines outpace human intelligence. Surveillance of biological data by governments and corporations – mostly gathered through mass vaccination programs – could lead to total control, as your digital and bio data are decoded to manipulate decisions with an algorithm tailored to your specific beliefs and profile. Many fear a future “digital dictatorship” where surveillance strips away all privacy and enables streamlined control of citizens by corporations and governments. Dr. Peter McCullough examines the NB.1.8.1 variant's rapid rise and USDA's poultry vaccination plans, questioning COVID vaccine efficacy claims. Joe Allen discusses AI's cognitive impacts, misinformation about transhumanism, and the latest case of AI-driven false accusations.

Is training AI on copyrighted content stealing, or just learning? A major U.S. court just weighed in, and the verdict could rewrite the rules for startups using generative AI.Too many founders assume "training data" is fair game but that blind spot could cost them billions. In this episode, Yaniv Bernstein and Chris Saad, experienced startup operators and product strategists, dive into a landmark copyright ruling and what it means for anyone building with AI.They also explore why AI voice transcription tools are finally taking off after decades of mediocrity, and react to a deeply unsettling video from tech billionaire Peter Thiel, revealing Silicon Valley's growing influence on politics and democracy.In this episode, you will:Understand why a U.S. court ruled Anthropic's AI training methods as partially legal—and partially notLearn the difference between fair use and piracy when it comes to LLM trainingDiscover why AI voice dictation is suddenly scaling and attracting huge VC fundingExplore the product strategy lesson behind voice tech's decades-long false startUnpack how timing, quality, and market readiness affect product-market fitHear the dark side of Silicon Valley power through a rare Peter Thiel clipChatGPT's takeover plan: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16S97eepGe/?mibextid=wwXIfrPeter Thiel's philosophy: https://youtu.be/45o8tQMGtvU?si=QrJ48xsAdQS-MxAC&t=264The Pact Honor the Startup Podcast Pact!

Season 7 of Black Mirror is here, and it's not quite the digital doomfest you might expect. In this episode, I break down all six new stories—from the much-anticipated “USS Callister: Into Infinity” to the emotionally charged “Eulogy”—and explore how creator Charlie Brooker has shifted the series' tone. This season blends inventive sci-fi with more emotionally resonant, even hopeful, storytelling, marking a noticeable departure from the show's trademark bleakness. I'll dive into each episode's plot twists, standout performances, and the critical reception, discussing whether this “return to form” really signals a new era for Black Mirror. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer, join me for a deep dive into the season's divisive but fascinating blend of classic cautionary tales, human connection, and maybe—just maybe—a little optimism in the digital age.Movie Reviews from Giant Mess Podcast - https://bit.ly/GiantMessMovieReviews TV Show Reactions from Giant Mess Podcast - https://bit.ly/GiantMessTV Funny Stories from Giant Mess Podcast -  https://bit.ly/GiantMessFunnyStoriesABOUT NEAL LYNCH:Irish-Italian-American who graduated from a Catholic high school (even though I'm not Catholic), and a college known for producing doctors and lacrosse players, then became neither. Former 4th string quarterback and middle relief pitcher at a D3 school. Degrees in Film & Media Studies and Communications. Worked for Playboy, Condé Nast, New York Post, SportsNet New York, and Hearst Television.Divorced dad who blogs, podcasts, writes, edits, optimizes, strategizes, and over-analyzes.  ABOUT "GIANT MESS":"Giant Mess" is a weird sports and entertainment comedy podcast hosted by a giant mess, the Real Cinch Neal Lynch. Neal covers New York Giants football, Mets baseball, movies, and TV shows, mixing in funny life stories along the way. Episodes focus on movie reviews, tv show recaps, post-game analysis, predictions, reactions, and funny stories about parenting.Subscribe to Giant Mess on YouTube: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/GiantMessYT⁠⁠ Follow me on:* Link Tree - ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/neallynch⁠⁠  * My Official Blog - ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/neallynchBLOG⁠⁠ * Giant Mess Facebook Page - ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/GiantMessFB⁠⁠    * Twitter - ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/NealLynchTW⁠⁠     * Personal Instagram - ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/NealLynchIG⁠⁠    * Giant Mess Instagram - ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/GiantMessInstagram⁠⁠  * Subscribe to Giant Mess on Apple Podcasts - ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/GiantMessApple⁠⁠  * Subscribe to Giant Mess on Spotify - ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/GiantMessSpotify⁠⁠

Kevin Kelly is a leading thinker of the digital age. The founding editor of Wired Magazine, he helped produce the Whole Earth Catalog, and an early internet pillar called the WELL. He is a journalist, an artist, and a longtime member of the Burning Man community.He is a radical optimist.The future is a construct of the collective imagination. We see utopian stories as too pie-in-the-sky. We have a morbid curiosity for dystopian stories. What's in between? Iterative improvement.

It's Glastonbury weekend, and we're back with the Big Questions.Not a sentence we expected to be saying on No Tags, but we kick off by talking about Will Smith – specifically his recent appearance with London streamer du jour DJ AG. The Fresh Prince is in the middle of a generationally cringe promo run and we've been wanting to discuss AG's streams for a while now, so these two forces colliding over a dubstep remix of the Men in Black theme felt like the perfect opportunity.If you're looking for something more high-brow, well, you still have to get through Tom's full review of the Cooper's Hill Cheese Roll – aka Final Destination: Cotswolds. Once we're through that, it's onto higher ground, debriefing recent experiences at Polyphonic Eating with Yu Su, Warp Records' ‘happening' at The Barbican and a No Tags night out at Corsica for Hodge and Peverelist. Music writers who still go to clubs?

Efterfrågeinflation, kostnadsinflation eller smygflation. Förklaringarna till den höga prisökningstakten efter pandemin har varit många. Så vad var det som hände? Och hur kan inflation komma att påverka oss i framtiden? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. I december 2022 nådde inflationen i Sverige 10,2 % procent. Den höga prisökningstakten överrumplade både allmänheten och experter. Och svaret från flera av världens centralbanker lät inte vänta på sig - styrräntan höjdes i rask takt, i Sverige och utomlands, med lågkonjunktur som följd. Men vad är orsaken till att prisnivån i samhället plötsligt börjar stiga? Vad kan inflation egentligen leda till? Och är det motiverat - eller ens effektivt - att få ekonomin att gå in i en recession för att få prisökningarna att stanna av? Vi reder ut vad inflation är, hur (olika) den uppmäts och varför så många ekonomer är rädda för dess effekter. Hur säkra är vi egentligen på att inflation är så farligt som det ofta framställs? Vad är rollen av inflationsförväntningar och förtroende - och vad är egentligen en valutas värde?

In this episode of the Slightly Biased Podcast, Vinny and Grayson tackle everyday chaos with their usual mix of humor and exasperation—starting with Grayson's epic meltdown at a Wendy's drive-thru, where an AI-powered menu served up confusion, two Baconators, and existential rage instead of his actual order. Vinny, meanwhile, pays $12 for egg muffins and questions why returning to the office feels like a slow descent into madness. But it doesn't stop there. The duo dives into parenting philosophies, pool maintenance headaches, and the strange world of Facebook Marketplace scooters and inflatable hot tubs. They also revisit classic shows like 30 Rock, Scrubs, and Sex and the City—questioning which reboots still work, and which ones should've stayed in the vault. Topics Include: The rise (and fall) of AI drive-thrus $12 breakfasts and the return-to-office struggle Learning through failure: bikes, parenting, and PVC welding Facebook Marketplace wins, scams, and scooter strategy Pop culture rants: Scrubs, 30 Rock, reboot fatigue, and nostalgia Boston College reunions with cafeteria food and booming DJs Key Takeaways: AI can make fast food worse, not better Personal failures build resilience (and sometimes great podcast content) Reboots often rely too heavily on nostalgia Office life hits different after remote work Humor is survival when life hands you pool repairs and overpriced egg muffins Grayson ends the episode reborn—as a baconator-hating vigilante who now identifies as a boomer.

Mark Jeftovic discusses the advance of globalism and his contrarian take on where it goes next. He argues that the accelerating speed of technological change is the driving force of world events today. Nation states are ceding power to network states and other actors. He explains the bitcoin monetary regime change, how stablecoins are extending dollar dominance, and whether the financial system will hold together long enough to get us to the Algorithm Ghetto. He comments on the arrival of singularity, why he remains optimistic, and staying sovereign!

The race to develop ever-more-powerful AI is creating an unstable dynamic. It could lead us toward either dystopian centralized control or uncontrollable chaos. But there's a third option: a narrow path where technological power is matched with responsibility at every step.Sam Hammond is the chief economist at the Foundation for American Innovation. He brings a different perspective to this challenge than we do at CHT. Though he approaches AI from an innovation-first standpoint, we share a common mission on the biggest challenge facing humanity: finding and navigating this narrow path.This episode dives deep into the challenges ahead: How will AI reshape our institutions? Is complete surveillance inevitable, or can we build guardrails around it? Can our 19th-century government structures adapt fast enough, or will they be replaced by a faster moving private sector? And perhaps most importantly: how do we solve the coordination problems that could determine whether we build AI as a tool to empower humanity or as a superintelligence that we can't control?We're in the final window of choice before AI becomes fully entangled with our economy and society.

We begin with an update on the riots and the need for Republicans to stick the landing on immigration enforcement in the must-pass bills. Next, we're joined by Patrick Wood, editor of Technocracy, who is warning that the nightmare of AI and technocratic control is upon us. We analyze Louisiana Republican Speaker Mike Johnson's statement promoting an effort to crush state regulations of AI and data centers. Patrick connects the dots between tech donors, David Sacks, and this sudden obsession with AI data centers, 15-minute “freedom cities,” and tokenized currency. He warns that they are creating a parallel economy and that the AI data centers are designed to facilitate a parallel power grid, leaving us with the dregs of energy.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In part two of our conversation with author Samira Ahmed, we deep dive into the genre of Internment—is it dystopian, speculative, or realistic fiction?—and why that label matters in the classroom. What starts as a conversation about shelving quickly becomes an exploration of how genre influences student thinking, how we can break down subject silos in education, and why teaching through inquiry is more critical than ever. Samira shares insights on the emotional toll of teaching today, the urgency of connecting past and present injustices, and her belief that “teaching is a revolutionary act.” This episode is a reminder of the impact educators have and the power of stories to spark resistance, reflection, and change.Resources:Camp BNTInternment, by Samira AhmedThe Grace Year, by Kim LiggettProphet Song, by Paul LynchRelated Episodes:Episode 155, Powerful Female Voices in YA Lit: An Interview with Yamile Saied MendezEpisode 171, New Dystopian Texts & Supplements for Your ELA ClassroomEpisode 230, Building Trong Writers: An Interview with Author Christina Schnider of The Daring English TeacherEpisode 260, Samira Ahmed: A Conversation About Internment Part 1SHOW NOTES: https://www.bravenewteaching.com/home/episode261"Send us a message - please include your contact information so we can chat soon!"Get your FREE Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs gateway lesson: shop.bravenewteaching.com/cloudyCheck out Curriculum Rehab here!Support the show

Not much I can say but share David Block's chilling words: Kubrick's future is here, and we are in it and of it. In Kubrick's vision for AI, a metaphysical metaphoric dimension comes to the surface on the material plane. Do androids dream about electric sheep? If they do, they dream about the Demiurge connected to Saturn, connected to a false dream world with no hope for redemption. Do the human race share the same fate, or can we become something more? Are we destined for the gold room, or can we overcome it? Come and firewalk with me to the black sun and beyond!

Dave Mustaine is the co-founder, frontman, primary songwriter, and sole consistent member of the thrash metal band Megadeth. A pioneer of the American thrash metal movement, Mustaine formed Megadeth in 1983 after his departure from Metallica, where he served as lead guitarist and co-songwriter. With Megadeth, he has released sixteen studio albums, sold over 50 million records worldwide, earned six platinum certifications, and won a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2017 for the title track of Dystopia. Known for his intricate guitar work, snarling vocal style, and lyrics exploring war, politics, and personal struggles, Mustaine remains a towering figure in heavy metal. Despite overcoming challenges like substance abuse, a 2002 arm injury, and throat cancer in 2019, he continues to tour and create music, with Megadeth's latest album, The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!, released in 2022. He is working on his 17th album. Mustaine is also expanding his family's wine venture, House of Mustaine, and mentors emerging artists.
