  • Are your AI Glasses Recording Me?

    Are your AI Glasses Recording Me?
    Sep 24 2026
    Meta wants smart glasses to become normal. We’re less convinced. Duncan and Ollie look at the appeal, the genuinely useful bits, and what happens when nobody can tell whether the person looking at them is also filming them? Accessibility, AI assistants, privacy, public embarrassment, hacked recording lights and why Ollie may soon have to conduct all organised crime completely naked.

  • AI is going to kill us all. Details TBC

    AI is going to kill us all. Details TBC
    Sep 15 2026

    AI might kill us all. That is increasingly the warning coming from the people building the most powerful models.


    The awkward bit is that they are much less specific about how.


    This week, we get into the latest wave of AI doom, why Anthropic and OpenAI keep talking about existential risk, whether self improving AI changes the equation, and why regulation may be doing more than keeping us safe. We also ask a fairly basic question: if the danger is as serious as they say, why are they still racing to build it?


    Plus bioweapons, regulatory capture, recursive self improvement, dictatorships, Snowpiercer and the possibility that AI eventually lies to itself.


    Cheerful stuff.

  • AGI is here! (apparently)

    AGI is here! (apparently)
    Sep 11 2026
    Has AGI finally arrived, or have we just moved the goalposts again? Duncan and Ollie pick apart what artificial general intelligence is supposed to mean, why the definition keeps changing, and whether today’s smartest models are still more book smart than street smart. Then, inevitably, things drift towards superintelligence, nuclear war and the Cobra effect.
