Policy Proposal: Release a Minotaur Into Canary Wharf feat Dr Eleanor Janega
We speak with friend of the show and returning guest Dr Eleanor Janega about a recent tech newsletter that compared the advent of ChatGPT to the invention of the heavy plow. But we also had to discuss a startup making surveillance-tech vending machines that will aggressively misgender you, and more.

It took me a second to understand the 101 thing, so I'm glad Milo told me I was right
Mandate of Heaven has been missing for a long time.
Inside you there are two nurses... no wait
Janegreat (pronounced yan-a-great) love an academic who can shitpost
Glad to be one of two nurses
Can confirm vending machines are still alive at at least 2 uk universities. You got to ensure that there is acess to overpriced shit food outside of uni branded cafe hours, otherwise the underpaid overworked staff/ PhD students might venture OUTSIDE and start getting ideas…
oh HELL YES, it's Dr J!
Y'all joke about all bar 2 but when I was in Edinburgh airport the other day I encountered an All Bar 1^2 and it was horrifying

They should invent the Vendor critical Gending machine.
I think a minotaur isn't ambitious enough of a thrill. Like you guys said there's only one. How about we bring in the OpenAI guys to build a Wish Granter, tap into the noosphere, and then we can create the Canary Wharf Exclusion Zone? Think of the fits guys!
I think after fucking up on giving the hashemites the caliphate and hejaz, it's only fair that the hashemis get to be caliph kings of gb.
Do they have Marshmallow Fluff in the UK?
Yes, however its considered very much an American import and will usually be found in the international aisle
9:31 I play pub trivia in Seattle, and there's a team I go up against occasionally called "Enumclaw Equestrian Society". It's always fun explaining the joke.
please explain to me, a stupid issaquah suburbanite
You guys are missing the real legitimate heir to Albion's Mandate of Heaven. One Croatian Man: "I thought this column would be my last job—but a woman with a sword had other ideas"
A rare reference to the origin of the Balthasar Speedboat, a podcast within a podcast about a fictional nonce.
Shout out Enumclaw
If Mr Hands was CEO of Boeing this never would have happened. Bring back engineering culture!
Why the hell is the machine trying to sell me the complete Master and Commander collection?
With regard to the minotaur: I could fix him
Whatever you do, DO NOT immediately drop what you’re doing and buy yourself a copy of Gengoroh Tagame’s “Cretian Cow”.
New Labour unwinding a shoestring budget behind them to find their way out of the maze
It’s the Eleanor one
yayyyyyyy, Eleanor's back!
