3×57: Conspiracyers

Bad Voltage

Jeremy Garcia, Jono Bacon, and Stuart Langridge present Bad Voltage, in which there’s more smoky back rooms than usual, everyone’s on Orkut, and:

• [00:01:14] Who likes Microsoft Teams? Microsoft promises it’s made Teams less confusing and resource hungry, while Teams surprisingly now has 270m users to Slack’s 20m.
• [00:08:21] An “open letter” from tech pioneers calls for a halt on AI development
• [00:20:31] USA wants to ban TikTok: is this tech, security, or geopolitics?
• [00:33:25] Google Search Adds Features for Info Verification: will this work? can this work?

Also, we’re now on Mastodon! @[email protected]!
