011: Office of Defects
<p>This week, FOLLOW UP kicks off with Manus madness, a $2 million ticket to Trump’s crypto cash-grab, and Elon’s Boring Company worming its way into an $8 billion Amtrak boondoggle. Meanwhile, CryptoPunks gets handed off to a nonprofit like an expired Groupon—proof the NFT hype cycle ends with a 501(c)(3) and a shrug.</p><p>IN THE NEWS, Microsoft trims another 3% of its workforce while a former Metaverse engineer delivers DoorDash from a trailer—living proof that “the future of work” is just working for the apps. Klarna quietly admits AI sucks at customer service and hires back actual people, just as OpenAI’s reasoning models hit the brakes. The Pope wants to exorcise AI, Elon’s backfiring Copyright Office coup leaves him empty-handed, and YouTube starts banning AI-faked trailers that made Screen Culture money off Marvel lies. Jamie Lee Curtis goes full Final Girl on Zuckerberg, and Tesla drama ramps up: robotaxis under investigation, employees revolting, and one poor dealership manager gets canned for telling the truth about ol’ Musky. Oh, and scientists say the universe might die sooner than expected—cool cool cool.</p><p><a href="https://manus.im/">Leave it to Manus</a></p><p><a href="https://www.wired.com/story/trumpcoin-dinner-ticket-bidding/">A VIP Seat at Donald Trump’s Crypto Dinner Cost at Least $2 Million</a></p><p><a href="https://gizmodo.com/elons-boring-company-is-helping-the-government-with-an-8-billion-amtrak-tunnel-project-2000601700">Elon’s Boring Company Is ‘Helping’ the Government With an $8 Billion Amtrak Tunnel Project</a></p><p><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/13/nft-phenom-cryptopunks-was-just-sold-to-a-nonprofit/">CryptoPunks was just sold to a nonprofit</a></p><p><a href="https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/microsoft-is-laying-off-3-percent-of-its-global-workforce-154755787.html">Microsoft is laying off 3 percent of its global workforce</a></p><p><a href="https://gizmodo.com/laid-off-metaverse-engineer-says-he-is-doordashing-and-living-in-a-trailer-2000602465">Laid-Off Metaverse Engineer Says He Is DoorDashing and Living in a Trailer</a></p><p><a href="https://archive.is/oYXku">Silicon Valley’s Elusive Fantasy of a Computer as Smart as You</a></p><p><a href="https://gizmodo.com/klarna-hiring-back-human-help-after-going-all-in-on-ai-2000600767">Klarna Hiring Back Human Help After Going All-In on AI</a></p><p><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/12/improvements-in-reasoning-ai-models-may-slow-down-soon-analysis-finds/">Improvements in 'reasoning' AI models may slow down soon, analysis finds</a></p><p><a href="https://gizmodo.com/the-new-pope-wants-to-take-on-ai-2000600652">The New Pope Wants to Take on AI</a></p><p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/politics/666179/maga-elon-musk-sacks-copyright-office-perlmutter">Elon Musk’s apparent power play at the Copyright Office completely backfired</a></p><p><a href="https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/05/copyright-office-head-fired-after-reporting-ai-training-isnt-always-fair-use/">Copyright Office head fired after reporting AI training isn’t always fair use</a></p><p><a href="https://gizmodo.com/youtube-cracks-down-on-fake-movie-trailer-channels-making-money-2000600973">YouTube Cracks Down on Fake Movie Trailer Channels Making Money</a></p><p><a href="https://www.engadget.com/social-media/jamie-lee-curtis-publicly-shamed-mark-zuckerberg-to-remove-a-deepfaked-ad-225448916.html">Jamie Lee Curtis publicly shamed Mark Zuckerberg to remove a deepfaked ad</a></p><p><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/12/teslas-robotaxi-plans-have-the-attention-of-federal-investigators/">Tesla's robotaxi plans have the attention of federal investigators</a></p><p><a href="https://futurism.com/tesla-manager-fired-blaming-elon-musk">A Tesla Dealership Manager Blamed Elon Musk for Tanking Sales and Was Immediately Fired</a></p><p><a href="https://teslaemployeesagainstelon.com/">Tesla Employees Against Elon</a></p><p><a href="https://openlettertoelon.com/">Open Letter to Elon</a></p><p><a href="https://x.com/openletter2elon">Open Letter to Elon - @openletter2elon</a></p><p><a href="https://futurism.com/universe-end-sooner-hawking-radiation">Scientists Just Moved Up the Death Date of the Universe</a><br /> </p><p>If you want more of this amazing goodness head over to <a href="https://gog.show/" target="_blank">https://gog.show/</a> and subscribe to the Grumpy Old Geeks podcast.

010: Googliearchs
<p>In this episode of Tech News Time, we’re serving up a buffet of dystopia with a side of snark. First, Kuwait has finally realized crypto bros are an energy drain, not a feature. Celsius Network’s founder gets 12 years for running a “safe investment” Ponzi scheme. And in Lopez v. Apple, we find yet another reason to question Cupertino’s moral compass.</p><p>Then it’s time for a trip through the tech trash fire. DoorDash gobbles up Deliveroo, proving there’s no such thing as too many overpriced salads. Google wants your kids to befriend Gemini—because what could go wrong giving tweens supervised AI access? Tesla’s “Robotaxi” trademark gets the boot for being as generic as Elon’s pickup lines. Meanwhile, Grok strips in public, deepfake porn sites get the axe, and dating app “Raw” rawdogs user data like it’s the early 2000s internet. We also hit peak Black Mirror with brain-typed tweets, AI-resurrected relatives, and crypto kidnappers playing real-life GTA.</p><p><a href="https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/kuwait-cracks-down-on-crypto-miners-to-cut-down-on-electricity-usage-161200772.html" target="_blank">Kuwait cracks down on crypto miners to cut down on electricity usage</a></p><p><a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/founder-crypto-platform-celsius-network-203029481.html" target="_blank">Founder of crypto platform Celsius Network is sentenced to 12 years in prison</a></p><p><a href="https://www.lopezvoiceassistantsettlement.com/" target="_blank">Lopez v.
