Welcome to the Contrafabulists podcast, Kin Lane and Audrey Watters' weekly discussion of the latest technology (and politics of technology) news.
In this episode, we talk about predictions for the future, brain implants, expeditions to Mars, Planned Parenthood as a startup, and other technological, ideological nightmares.
Rated PG because no one cussed during this entire episode!
Here are the stories we referenced:
- "Facebook is building brain-computer interfaces for typing and skin-hearing" via Techcrunch
- "With Neuralink, Elon Musk Promises Human-to-Human Telepathy. Don't Believe It" via MIT Technology Review
- "Uber's C.E.O. Plays With Fire" via The New York Times
- "Planned Parenthood is following the ACLU's lead and is joining a Silicon Valley startup accelerator" via Business Insider
Feedback is welcome. (You should email Kin with it though, not Audrey.)
