Did Biden sabotage Ukraine peace? Microsoft’s most brilliant acquisition. The AI arms race: Where is Facebook? ChatGPT for cynics. ChatGPT is a CW engine—but it’s worse than that. The Mickey lane opens up in the California Senate race, but Mickey nominates Michael Shellenberger. Elon catches the breaks. Why are so few people reading his tweets? Is Twitter getting killed by a new anti-tribalism algorithm? What do Bob and Elon have in common? We all need a Plan for Humanity. Bob hands Mickey Semafor scandal on a silver platter. Bob’s confused about this Jewish mother thing. Mickey wasn’t happy when Burt Bacharach answered the door. Rating Burt’s songs. Bob’s brief brush with Richard Feynman. What the BBC got wrong about quantum physics. What Republicans need to do after SOTU. Mickey’s plan for the harmonic convergence of Bob (Bob is not too impressed). Baffled by The Long Goodbye(try California Split). Biden’s manufacturing jobs will help social equality—Why didn’t Mickey think of that? Plutocracy is corrupting America, says Bob. Mickey’s got places to go.
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
