Pirate Wires

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?

Welcome back to the pod! Today we're talking abundance. After Trump's deal with Greenland this week, we break down that, despite the flaws of the administration, Trump has positioned himself as the abundance president when it comes to American advancement (while the Democrats' abundance agenda has fallen apart.) Also on the show, a NYT writer virtue signals her way into sending her kid to a terrible public school, woke is so back as a lesbian bar breaks the internet for removing their mask mandate, and we have a white pill in human brain development side of science!

Welcome back to the pod! Bridget Phetasy returns to the Pirate Wires podcast as one of our esteemed cohosts. This past week, the internet was consumed by the AI doomerism conversation. The tech people are supporting AI at all costs, the doomers are making their opinions heard, and we at Pirate Wires.. are unsure. We dive into all of the discourse, how Peter Thiel predicted the AI antichrist, the white pill of AI, and we even get into Sydney Sweeney's boobs. We have it all!

Welcome back to the Pirate Wires pod! The gang is back together for your favorite weekly pod covering tech, politics & culture. PW alum, Sanjana Friedman, returns to the show with Mike Solana in Riley Nork. Today on the pod,  25th anniversary of 9/11 and how the old world feels so ancient, the brain rot phone addiction that led to the decision of the Lindsay Clancy case, another AI doomer has sprung to life from the the bowels of Anthropic, we ponder if we're all in a simulation, and Solana gives us a deep dive into immigration and H1B's.
