    A Thief and a Liar

    Many news media publications and rights holders seem to be bowing at the altar of Big AI. The New York Times is not among them. “We cannot allow AI cheerleaders to dominate the public conversation” says NYT publisher A.G. Sulzberger. That and much more covered in today's whirlwind tour of recent news, from a ban on much AI usage in Norwegian elementary schools to the specter of "workslop" dragging down corporations. And the Resistance is scoring wins right and left, blocking billions upon billions of dollars of data center projects so far this year. Let's dig in. 📢 Hosted by Jared White 💬 Chat with me!

    iDeepfakeOS

    Tim Cook's final appearance in an Apple keynote, so of course he went out with style and flair! Just kidding. It was so-o-o-o boring. 😴 Unfortunately, so was most of the rest of the WWDC26 announcements—that is, when they weren't absolutely enraging. A deepfake generator of your friends? Really Apple? This is what your legendary focus on UX has come to in the twilight of Cook's tenure? A Siri which is totally willing to glaze students with "It sounds great!" pablum? Really?? Steve Jobs is rolling over in his grave right now. But hey…at least we finally got our "Snow Leopard" OS release cycle. That's something! 😂 📢 Hosted by Jared White 💬 Chat with me!

    Biases and Fallacies and Heuristics, Oh My!

    Hype—any hype, but in this instance tech hype—only works because humans are fallible. We fall prey to quirks of the mind, real-world hacks which dilute our rational thinking and cause us to sink into a mire cynically crafted for us by bad actors who are more than willing to manipulate and trick others for their own gain. In this episode, I will explain to you some of these mind games: the heuristics, biases, and fallacies which are difficult for us to escape…even when we're being thoughtful and critical ourselves. Guard yourselves against endless capitalist hype cycles by strengthening your mind! Oh, and in case this wasn't reason enough to tune in…The Amazing Criswell from Plan 9 from Outer Space makes an appearance. Because of course! He's one of the greatest hype men of all the ages! 📢 Hosted by Jared White 💬 Chat with me!

    The Psychological Cost of Activism Against Slopologists

    It's a jungle out there. Disorder and confusion everywhere. No one seems to care. Well I do! Hey, who’s in charge here? It may seem like I'm quoting from a famous Randy Newman song, and…OK yes, I am! 😂 But this is the world we live in. Having to deal with AI-pilled morons on the regular, feeling forced to leave improperly moderated communities overrun with slop, unfollowing slopologists, constantly having to seek out alternatives to Big Tech…and then getting yelled at for picking the “wrong” alternative…whew, it's a lot. How do we cope? That is the topic of the hour. 📢 Hosted by Jared White 💬 Chat with me!

    The Death and Resurrection of UX w/Ayush Newatia

    Marketing has taken over product design. Usability used to mean something. Now software is becoming less "human", a symptom of a wider business culture sucking up to AI companies because of far too much capital flooding the markets. But it doesn't have to be this way. Join us for a merry dialog on the hazards of A/B testing your way into a good product (spoiler alert! you can't!), asking the why about your data not simply the what, codemaxxing, flaming Teslas, and a whole lot more. 📢 Hosted by Jared White & guest Ayush Newatia 💬 Chat with us!

    Nothing Sus About Ellipsus

    If you’re like a lot of folks now wondering if it’s even possible to build delightful, human-centric & humane SaaS products for the web anymore, Ellipsus is proof that yes it’s possible! One of the great things about Ellipsus is they have been standing with writers and creators against the onslaught of generative AI and slop. And “Our Survey on Creativity, Writing, and Reading in the Age of AI” highlights just what their community is feeling but in a broader sense, how it’s possible to build new products & services around these sentiments. One does not need to become a slop peddler in order to find successful product/market fit. 📢 Hosted by Jared White 💬 Chat with me!

    But My Fake Influencer is Very Authentic

    In a phrase I never expected to utter: I wholeheartedly endorse the upcoming Chinese regulations! Yes, China is getting ready to crack down on so-called "digital humans", requiring proper labeling as such as well as forbidding any deepfakes based on real people without their informed consent. Many other restrictions are proposed as well, and in this episode I go through the details and explain how such regulations are sorely needed here in my country (the U.S.)—though I don't trust anything coming out of our current regime. We may have to wait for the political turnover, which is looking very likely! 📢 Hosted by Jared White 💬 Chat with me!

    Slop-Free Software is So Hot Right Now

    Welcome back to the 2026 season kickoff of Vibe Coded! In this episode, I cover the phenomenon of how open source software projects are either fending off or embracing the onslaught of agentic coding services, and the ways in which the technology is splitting the F/LOSS community asunder. I just keep thinking, it didn't have to be this way. But here we are! 📢 Hosted by Jared White 💬 Chat with me!
