694: Hammers Don’t Hallucinate

Fyre Festival reboots as a music app; Amazon and Microsoft hit pause on AI infrastructure; Google’s AI hallucinates confidently; Kevin Roose wants us to feel bad for Skynet Jr.; OpenAI wants Chrome despite being broke; Perplexity brags about stalking your browser; Meta axes more VR staff while faking human rights concern; Uber gets sued for canceling like a cult; Adam Neumann cons investors (again); sperm racing becomes crypto sport; Bluesky sells out to the blue check; Affinity claps back at Adobe; Wheel of Time RPG is coming—eventually; Wednesday gets another season; and on The Dark Side, we rage about Andor, bad scripts, arcade nostalgia, and color memory, while Altman sobs over AI’s manners budget.
