Mickey knows what he knows. Scandalous Gordon Lightfoot trivia lightning-round. The latest Epstein document drop. How’d he make his money anyway? Bob’s piece on Geoffrey Hinton, the “Godfather of AI”—what’s got Hinton freaked out? DeSantis trades losses in the polls for “wins” in the Florida legislature. Proud boys get their comeuppance. Elon’s subtle Tesla pricing strategy. The uses of cruise control. Mickey dishes on his big event from last week. The newest Twitter rival’s velvet-rope arrival. Is Substack Notes making the same mistake as Twitter? Mickey (unbiasedly) dismisses Ben Smith’s eulogy for the Gawker era. Do Dems see all Republicans as threats to democracy? Adjudicating the Ed Sheeran copyright infringement case. The child labor law rollback trend. Bob and Mickey fail to list their favorite five films. DeSantis vs. Disney. Bob explains the epiphenomenal theory of consciousness (without explaining consciousness away).
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day
