    Memory
    2026/03/27

    You probably won't remember this episode. That's partly the joke, and partly the point. Duncan and Ollie get into what AI is doing to human memory: why it's already unreliable, why offloading recall to a machine might be making it worse, and why you'll eventually stop noticing the difference between a decision you made and one a chatbot/agent made for you. Also: a 17p refund dispute, and Ollie's four-and-a-half-year search for a new car.

    Long or short on memory? They're both short. The argument is worth hearing anyway.

    Short Fuse News: Meta Confused, Vibe Coding, Bernie vs Claude, NVIDIA DLSS5
    2026/03/20

    Meta's VR retreat turns out to be more complicated than the LinkedIn takes suggested. Karpathy vibe-coded a jobs analysis, got ratio'd, and deleted it. Bernie Sanders got Claude to endorse a data centre moratorium, which tells you more about how these models work than it does about data centres. Nvidia's DLSS5 is yassifying your favourite game characters whether you asked for it or not. And the big tech giants signed a voluntary energy pledge at the White House, which is going about as well as the stakeholder capitalism open letter from 2019.

    Also: the Carey System gets its first official outing, Ollie is still not buying a car, and Duncan nearly gets something right about Jensen Huang.

    Education
    2026/03/13
    Are teachers obsolete? Duncan and Ollie place their bets on the future of education in an age of AI tutors, personalised learning, and students who are angrier about AI than you'd expect. From Alpha Schools and their two-hour AI-led curriculum to Duncan's catastrophic one-out-of-ten test score that got a standing ovation from a chatbot, this one gets into the real questions: what is education actually for, who benefits when human teachers get replaced, and does any of this solve the fact that seven years of French lessons produced zero French speakers?
