i didn't know about #google's internal betting programs until hearing about it on this #techwontsaveus podcast. they mentioned bets on competitor plans and actions at one point i believe. that has to have been an effort to solicit and sanitize employee insider knowledge gleaned through their personal contacts with insider knowledge right?

This Tech Won't Save Us podcast about the UK government's obsession with AI is eye-opening - I didn't actually know that we were forging ahead faster than anyone else 😭

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with Will Dunn to discuss why the UK has gone so hard on AI and the many risks created by its AI dependence.

A recent New Yorker article put a spotlight on Sam Altman’s compulsive lying. It’s not a great look for tech media that echoed his statements.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @KarlBode to discuss the problem of “CEO says a thing” reporting and the need to hold tech CEOs accountable.
