Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

AI is just another Ponzi scheme we are already paying for

I asked Photoshop to create an image of Artificial Intelligence eating the Earth. It gave me R2-D2 with spindly legs holding a globe. Well-done.
This episode is about when I was researching New Year's Eve celebrations in San Francisco in the 1930s and 1940s. Google Gemini made up a store I spent hours researching trying to find a primary source, like a newspaper article. I pressed Gemini for attribution and it gave me fake links. It even gave me an actual picture and lied about what was going on in the picture.
AI is bullshit.

Snake Theater—Auto (1979)

One of the most amazing theatrical productions I've ever seen. Staged at an abandoned gas station in Sausalito in the summer of 1979.

KitKat, the San Francisco kitty killed by a Waymo taxi, has a crypto meme coin

How much did Waymo pay off the California public utilities commission to allow Waymo taxi cabs into San Francisco to block traffic and kill cats? And then the crypto degens move in like ghouls to create a Kit Kat meme coin. Stop the world I want to get off.

Who wants to ride in a driverless taxi?

The Rich are just trying to figure out how to take even more and leave us less. And it’s all a scam. AI is bullshit as are their robots and Robo taxis. The image with this podcast is where somebody apparently accidentally set fire to a Waymo taxi cab. I do not advocate for such disregard for safety measures.

I wanted to share this article. I read on medium.com. As a favor to my listeners, I added my own six sentences that I think would work way better than the ones in the article. You’re welcome.

Thank you editor.B for buying my album “Pacifica” for $.50 on band camp
