Pirate Wires

Welcome back to the pod! Liv Boeree is back with us this week. A leaked taped caught Gavin Newsom declaring that the DSA is the future of the Democrat party. Around the same time, another video went viral showing a college girl celebrating Charlie Kirk's assassination in front of his friend. Is this the future that the party is supporting? We then get into the midterms and how it will affect the tech industry. Will we have a blue wave? Or is the polling and early voting incorrect? Next up is the much discussed Elizabeth Holmes doc.. we break it all down in the way only Pirate Wires can! Finally, a white pill for Anduril's American made laptop.

Welcome back to the pod! Bridget Phetasy joins us this week. Elon Musk became an enemy in the political sphere as pundits, like Kara Swisher, stated that Elon would likely be in jail if Kamala was elected. This was said on the same week that Elon pledged to give every child in America one share of SpaceX, and introduced a flying car with the Tesla Roadster. We then break down the California Wealth Tax vote that is coming soon and if Ilhan Omar really did commit immigration fraud. Thankfully, we end on a high note with a white pill, discussing flying cars, the tech optimist future, and how and how to remove stress when scrolling social media.

This week on the pod. Liv Boeree is back! We discuss how NYC is protecting illegal criminals, while prioritizing getting rid of horse carriages in Central Park, why you can no longer be mean to Claude, the cyber attack on a French grocery store, and why we should be pushing to d/acc. Also, woke continues to make a comeback.. the ladies get mad at Shane Gillis' SNL monologue about how women dress as 'whores' in the gym, Metallica frontman James Hetfield receives hate online for not saying the thing everyone wants him to say, and Kelly Clarkson battles with a small business in Brooklyn. Finally, Liv and Solana compare algos to demonstrate just how we all live in different universes online.

Welcome back to the pod! This week, Pirate Wires reported on the State Department's fight against censorship abroad. At the same time, French President, Emmanuel Macron, took the stage to denounce America's version of free speech. Sanjana Friedman joins us to discuss free speech maximalism and how Europe's model of speech is seeping into how American's view speech. Also in today's episode, an AI doomer battle! Steven Pinker & Scott Alexander go at it over our favorite discourse.. the AI apocalypse. Should our p(doom) continue to rise? or are we actually looking at the greatest leap in human lifespan? We're then joined by PW write, Nicole Wizman, to discuss California in disarray, and we close the episode debating aliens and Fermi's Paradox (or the newly created.. Solana's Paradox)

This week on the pod, we’re joined by the great @Liv_Boeree! We’re breaking down another crazy week in the AI tech space. From Trump inviting all the tech leaders to DC, to renaming AI to “Super Intelligence”, to Bernie’s AI bill endorsed by doomer groups. We also discuss the infamous data center party in DC that our own Jonas Du put together. Next up, we have @katrosenfield join us to discuss the controversial “Cornell 7” SI case that is taking over the discourse. Kat provides us with insights from her piece that she just wrote in The Free Press. Finally, a white pill! The government made a website that actually doesn’t suck. Are we in a new age of government efficiency?
