We’re all still worried about AI, right? Well we are, so we decided to bring you the 1970 artificial intelligence cautionary tale, in all its methodical, intense, and drenched in 70s retro future production design glory. Join us and learn why the ‘scientist’ making the computer is definitely the bad guy, in Colossus: The Forbin Project. (I MEAN, seriously, that bozo Elon literally named the supercomputer he’s building Colossus? WTH!) Anyway, we’re joined by Escape Hatch super guest, the Product Director and Founder of the Social Web Foundation, Tom Coates.
