Biden Drops Out, Kamala's Image Makeover, & Battle Of The Billionaires (ft. John Coogan)
Pirate WiresShow Notes
EPISODE #62: Welcome back! Biden officially dropped out of the race this past week. Democrats decide to not do democracy this year and just replaced Biden with Kamala Harris. We get into the hot swap, Kamala’s image makeover, and what democracy actually means. Friend of the show, John Coogan, stops in to talk about the battle of the billionaires on X. The TDS of Silicon Valley has brought out current and past disputes with David Sacks, Paul Graham, Vinod Khosla, Parker Conrad, and our very own billionaire Mike Solana. We then take a deep dive into the Crowdstrike outage last week that took our our airports and work computers. We’re EU regulations to blame for all of this? Enjoy!

This week on the pod. Liv Boeree is back! We discuss how NYC is protecting illegal criminals, while prioritizing getting rid of horse carriages in Central Park, why you can no longer be mean to Claude, the cyber attack on a French grocery store, and why we should be pushing to d/acc. Also, woke continues to make a comeback.. the ladies get mad at Shane Gillis' SNL monologue about how women dress as 'whores' in the gym, Metallica frontman James Hetfield receives hate online for not saying the thing everyone wants him to say, and Kelly Clarkson battles with a small business in Brooklyn. Finally, Liv and Solana compare algos to demonstrate just how we all live in different universes online.
Welcome back to the pod! This week, Pirate Wires reported on the State Department's fight against censorship abroad. At the same time, French President, Emmanuel Macron, took the stage to denounce America's version of free speech. Sanjana Friedman joins us to discuss free speech maximalism and how Europe's model of speech is seeping into how American's view speech. Also in today's episode, an AI doomer battle! Steven Pinker & Scott Alexander go at it over our favorite discourse.. the AI apocalypse. Should our p(doom) continue to rise? or are we actually looking at the greatest leap in human lifespan? We're then joined by PW write, Nicole Wizman, to discuss California in disarray, and we close the episode debating aliens and Fermi's Paradox (or the newly created.. Solana's Paradox)
This week on the pod, we’re joined by the great @Liv_Boeree! We’re breaking down another crazy week in the AI tech space. From Trump inviting all the tech leaders to DC, to renaming AI to “Super Intelligence”, to Bernie’s AI bill endorsed by doomer groups. We also discuss the infamous data center party in DC that our own Jonas Du put together. Next up, we have @katrosenfield join us to discuss the controversial “Cornell 7” SI case that is taking over the discourse. Kat provides us with insights from her piece that she just wrote in The Free Press. Finally, a white pill! The government made a website that actually doesn’t suck. Are we in a new age of government efficiency?
Welcome back to the pod! Today we're talking abundance. After Trump's deal with Greenland this week, we break down that, despite the flaws of the administration, Trump has positioned himself as the abundance president when it comes to American advancement (while the Democrats' abundance agenda has fallen apart.) Also on the show, a NYT writer virtue signals her way into sending her kid to a terrible public school, woke is so back as a lesbian bar breaks the internet for removing their mask mandate, and we have a white pill in human brain development side of science!
Welcome back to the pod! Bridget Phetasy returns to the Pirate Wires podcast as one of our esteemed cohosts. This past week, the internet was consumed by the AI doomerism conversation. The tech people are supporting AI at all costs, the doomers are making their opinions heard, and we at Pirate Wires.. are unsure. We dive into all of the discourse, how Peter Thiel predicted the AI antichrist, the white pill of AI, and we even get into Sydney Sweeney's boobs. We have it all!
