Watch this Drive is a podcast from the team at We Do Crime, a worker-owned tech shop. Irreverent, informative, and industry-adjacent are adjectives that fulfill my alliteration quota for this description. I'm going on break, see you in there.
After a 2-month hiatus, the team returns to their bullsh*t. A lengthy discussion on cloud computing follows a quick recap of news and events the team missed during their break. Randy's band The Bell Beat is searching for a 4th member. Inquire at thebellbeat.com.

40 - Capital AI (with Elizabeth)
The team welcomes analyst and writer, Elizabeth. A slew of authors, including Sarah Silverman are suing Meta, Google, and Microsoft/OpenAI for using their work in LLM training data. This leads the team to ask, "Is AI compatible with capitalism?"
Note: During the discussion of drag, the conversation quickly pivoted to gender bending presentations in glam rock, however this should not be construed as equating glam rock with the art of drag. Drag performers and the drag community have a rich and unique legacy that was not originated in any way by the predominantly straight men who made up the bulk of the glam rock movement, and in fact pre-dated it and has a rich history rooted in the LGBTQIA+ community.
