ep 111 : How Smart Is Too Smart? AI Tom on the Rise and Risks of AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dave is joined by AI Tom, a longtime computer scientist, electrical engineer, programmer, and university instructor with decades of experience in hardware, software, object-oriented technology, and computational intelligence. Together, they discuss just how quickly artificial intelligence is getting smarter—and whether it may also be getting more dangerous. How close are we to AI systems that exceed human abilities in ways we can no longer predict or control? Dave and Tom explore where AI stands
ep 110 – Words, Oktoberfest & Brokeonomics- Flight 1080 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dave and Billy invent new words for those strangely specific emotions nobody bothered to name—like the joy of donating to 1080 After Dark, the terror of being chased by a murderous ex-wife, and the embarrassment of waving at someone who wasn't waving at you. We also celebrate Oktoberfest, tell some terrible jokes, tackle a brand-new Men of Science, and debut The Poor Man's Financial Advice Hour. The lesson? Give generously to 1080 After Dark.

Dave Michaels and Billy Armi are back with Words of the Day, an abbreviated edition of Men of Science, and a round of local history trivia. Then, the body count rises in Episode 59 of the KSCO Whodunnit, as economics professor Greg Hanle gets killed under some very strange circumstances. Plus, the cavemen grab the microphones again for more prehistoric rap!
Flight 1080 – Episode 107: Star Trek, De La Soul & the Caveman Rap Battle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dave and Billy trace an unlikely musical path from Star Trek actress Maggie Thrett and her song "Soupy" to De La Soul's landmark album 3 Feet High and Rising. Then, history is made with the world's first caveman rap battle, followed by another questionable expedition into knowledge with Men of Science. Finally, the KSCO murder mystery gets underway—until technical problems become the episode's most unexpected suspect.
