Kill The Computer

Maddy was originally going to come on and discuss the Secret Life of Erika Kirk (which we will be doing later) as well as plug the new L O S T bonus sideshow. However we wanted to start the episode with some thoughts on the current situation in Minneapolis, which ended up eating up an entire hour. Take care of yourselves as best you can, please.

Maddy will be back for the Erika ep and our LOST miniseries soon, both of which you can find here at Patreon.com/KillTheComputer

It's estimated that Grok, Elon Musk's chatbot formerly known as "MechaHitler" is now generating upwards of thousands of images of CSAM a day. While other countries are moving to outright ban it, Elon Musk is shrugging it off, his friends like Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney are rallying to his side, and the Trump administration, perhaps unsurprisingly, is silent. We brought on journalist Maggie Harrison Dupré to discuss her article on the subject and more.
