Fire Sale at the Accountability Store feat. Dan Davies
Added 2024-06-03 22:36:41 +0000 UTCIt's the free one!
For this week’s free episode, we’re joined by returning guest and author Dan Davies, whose recent book “The Unaccountability Machine: Why Big Systems Make Terrible Decisions - and How The World Lost its Mind” inspired a discussion of bad AI getting used at the DWP, the post-1970s shareholder revolution, and an incident involving Dutch airport cargo handlers managing to somehow deliver a horrible fate to a box full of squirrels. We very much hope you enjoy.

2024-06-08 14:06:06 +0000 UTCListening to this in the wake of the NY State governor's "indefinite delay" of congestion pricing kind of... hurts? Like, fine, small bore provinicialism on my part, but it feels like a pretty direct manifestation of the unaccountability machine.
