À propos de cet audio
This week, Juan and Kate discuss Karen Hao’s "Empire of AI," which reveals how Silicon Valley’s utopian ideals evolved into a global power grab, before jumping into AI's most solid use case to date: Italian Brainrot. And we don't want to spoil the end, but it might or might not include discussing Viktor Orbáns social media playbook.
Join us in the slop. We’re all heading there anyway, so come as you are and bring some friends (maybe an old enemy or two?).
About Slop World
Juan and Kate plunge into the slop pile—AI news, cultural shifts, and the future’s endless curveballs. They’re not here to sanitize the mess; they’re here to wrestle with it, laugh at it, and find meaning where you least expect it.
