The theme song of the Better Offline podcast has no right to be this good.
What a banger.

@nnedi
Congratulations! Your book deserves it.
Also, listening to the coverage of #CES2026 last week and the exoskeletons they tested on the #ItCouldHappenHere podcast and the #BetterOffline podcast reminded me of the exoskeleton use in Death of the Author. They're not to the level of your novel, but I had no idea they were so far along now.
Weekly output: Uber and Lucid’s robotaxi, Craig Newmark on dodging scams, Jensen Huang on engineering, Better Offline podcast
I got back from CES Friday morning, which means I’ve now more or less caught up with my sleep deficit from those frenetic five days in Las Vegas but still have a lot of writing to do.
1/5/2026: This Is the Robotaxi That Lucid and Nuro Are Building for Uber, PCMag
I wrote the first version of this off an embargoed copy of Uber’s announcement, then did an in-person inspection of Uber’s forthcoming self-driving version of the Lucid Gravity electric vehicle and updated the story two days later.
1/7/2026: Craiglist’s founder has some simple rules for not losing your mind—or money—on the internet, Fast Company
My video interview with Craig Newmark happened back in December–without any PR minder on the call–but online scams are an unfortunately evergreen topic.
1/7/2026: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: This Is Why I’m Lucky to Be an Engineer, PCMag
It was a treat to see Huang accept the engineering group IEEE’s annual medal of honor at a private event and gush a little about his chosen profession–the same one that my dad picked in college.
1/8/2026: CES 2026: Part Seven (Thursday), Better Offline
As I did last year, I wrapped up CES by joining tech gadfly Ed Zitron’s Better Offline podcast at the hotel suite he booked in Vegas for a lengthy conversation about what we saw at the show and what that says about the state of technology. My fellow guests in this Thursday night recording session: standup comedian Chloe Radlciffe and fellow writers Garrison Davis, Robert Evans, Westin Lee, and Ed Ongweso. After some post-recording banter, I went from there to the airport and fell asleep within maybe 10 minutes of takeoff.

Listening to Ed Zitron and friends roast shitty "products" they saw at #CES2026
I'm laughing out loud at the park
Pleasant surprise to hear @pluralistic on @Zitron's #BetterOffline at #CES2026 on Friday.
Don't worry, Cory. They didn't catch them in the room, but I got your Simpson's Monorail and Sneakers password references. 😉
Listening to Better Offline (CES 2026: Part Four (Wednesday)): https://omny.fm/shows/better-offline/ces-2026-part-four-wednesday

I love the podcast #BetterOffline, but there's no way I'm listening to all this lol
Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan
@markopolo141 yes they sort of use context, but they can't *know* context, because they can't *know* anything.
This #BetterOffline podcast episode is good for explaining that problem:
Better Offline: CZM Rewind: The Truth About Software Development with Carl Brown
Episode webpage: https://omny.fm/shows/better-offline/czm-rewind-the-truth-about-software-development-with-carl-brown
As a piece of tech #LLMs are cool, but the mis-selling and hype, and poisoning of the information ecosystem is too much.
#BetterOffline : AI Isn't Getting A Bailout
Look, as a child of the 90s I'm treating AI like a nicotine product: Just fucking don't.
#EdZitron you are GOAT and i quote:
"They cant help to claim that the future comes from the Mediocre...
.. and its easy to feel defeated in times like these but i encourage you to focus on one thing #Solidarity "
Thanks a lot, i love your show, i love you bullying them, love your tone and style and struggles
your rants are #luddite poetry
cannot imagine the fire that forged you

I am so thankful to see someone with an audience as large as Hank Green's getting this righteously pissed off about AI. Ed Zitron is doing good work, but he's niche as fuck. Your mom has at least heard of Hank:
