This is my radio show—it’s like if 120 Minutes was also storytime for weird adults. Every week there’s a new theme - it’s free/ad-free/no Ai, and I make it entirely myself. Deep cuts, great authors, and my own true tales. Bedtime stories and lullabies for people who never sleep. It’s Late.
Dropping this one early so you can listen on your travels! I weave William Blake into my embarrassing chocolate milk story, read food writing from non-food writers, & play music by D'Angelo, the Clash, Portishead, Beastie Boys, Van Halen + more. Free/Ad-free/No Ai

I think it’s pretty clear at this point that one of the main impacts of LLMs is to disrupt thinking: to make it so that far too many people never properly learn how to do it, and then to control the output so there are thoughts that people never learn how to think.

This is pretty fuckin cool
Scientists just ‘supercharged’ vinegar with nanoparticles — and in mice it wiped out 99.995% of MRSA in lab tests. 1 topical dose. 24 hours. No damage to healthy cells.
Who knew the secret weapon against superbugs might be… upgraded salad dressing?

Turns out, the Terminator movies would have been more realistic if Sarah Conner had a poetry MFA. In a new paper titled “Adversarial Poetry as a Universal Single-Turn Jailbreak Mechanism in Large L…

OK so: the station offered to let me rerun a show for the holiday week! And I am taking them up on the offer. So, this coming Sunday will be the UFOs show (not many people heard that one, and it's super fun)
