Nice, my new opinion just dropped

Bailey Yin

I downloaded MapQuest when I heard that they didn't change the name but the problem is I found the app to not be as good.

THE MORALE WILL CONTINUE UNTILL FLYOVERS IMPROVE

XCaliber

4 mins in, and the thought of me pinned under rubble inside a collapsed building, and seeing a massive cyborg cockroach approaching my face with what looks like a turret mounted on to it... yeah i can safely say I'd prefer to just get squashed and die at that point XD edit- 6 mins in and apparently i'm not the only one thinking that lmao

Alex Martinez

Aiden is what carries both the Yard and the Lemonade Stand. The party only starts when he's in the room.

I feel like saying Europe has been ignoring the rise of populism is just a really silly statement. It is the biggest threat to political stability, no one is ignoring the issue. The problem is there is nothing you can do about it. The world is on a decline and when people feel that decline they give in to populist ideology. The issue is if you want to keep your democracy real this flip will happened eventually and when it, it needs to prove itself by failure. I life in the Netherlands and we had a complete alt rightwing government that failed a few years ago and STILL Populist parties are massive. I truly do not know what you can do to stop it.

Doug already too high to defend his daily weed usage to atrioc huh

I love the idea of getting a raise for making things more efficient and saving my employer labor hours, but at least for myself when acting as an accounting manager, I was constantly told by my boss that the solution to our lack of capacity was that we need to "do more with less" (rather than hire), and that hassle and headache of implementing automation and AI to benefit the company was an expectation of at least me and my team, if not all employees broadly, rather than being seen as us adding real, lasting value to business processes. Productivity growth per capita was an expectation, not something to be rewarded. And then you can be sure that once all the low/mid level workers put in unpaid overtime to implement the thing, run systems in parallel to ensure accuracy, debug, troubleshoot, etc, the "leadership" gets just as much credit and monetary reward (if not more) for "leading" these people to get the job done. People who were already self-motivated and were going to work hard on doing what their employer asked them to do without needing to be "led". I pray that most companies aren't like that but the cynic in me is hard to shut up.

This EP is a little sloppy. It looks like you guys kinda gave up on actual segues and knowing which story comes next. I do want to say the standard for that wasn’t high already and I listen to every episode as soon as it comes out because I enjoy to hear the views expressed on this show. But this one particular episode was not in any way smooth.

bitq1

Looking as cute as always Aiden.

Cockroaches have been deployed for years, primarily as Twitch chatters

Next national German election is the presidential one in Jan 2027, and President holds mostly ceremonial power and is to act as “consciousness of the nation”. If the current coalition CDU/CSU+SPD holds (which is rather unlikely), the next nation-wide election to Bundestag is in 2029. And if current coalition crumbles, well, get ready for afd to get crazy numbers. The current coalition can’t seem to agree on anything, so thinking that by adding more parties into the mix while increasing the share of votes for afd is blissfully ignorant. it’s coming, and there is not much to be done about it :/ which is hella fuckin scary to be writing this as a russian immigrant living in Munich

Selma Sköld

I have to agree, to blame ignorance is quite silly. In Sweden; the right wing populist party have been in the riksdag for 16 years. Other parties have worked with them, the social democrats have changed stance on immigration to be more inline with them and we will see how the election turns out tomorrow but it does not seem like they have had a massive drop of support. Them and their policies have not been ignored, yet they remain a big part of politics here. It seems like the guys imply that the other german parties should just let the AFD in power. I don't know if it would reduce their popularity, according to you it does not seem to have worked in Netherlands. However this is something that we have seen all over the world, especially in the USA, that leads to immense suffering of a great many people. LGBTQ people suffer, women suffer, ethnic minorites and immigrants suffer. Not to speak of the threat to democracy that these parties and people are. I do not think that just letting the populist right in power is a real solution.

W LSTAND FOR SAYING NO TO BIG PREDICTION MARKET!

A1

I feel cheated. I subbed for pokemon

Bird

They will be putting weapons on cockroaches with orders to enforce the daily scroll via violence

alone_x

I'm sorry but the google maps thing is stupid. Google isn't deciding anything for these countries, google is forced by local law to show the border how India and China want it displayed if google wants access to their market. It has nothing to do with evil silicon valley elites trying to control the world

なず 小鳥遊

That first cockroach story is totally gonna bite us in the ass in 30 years, when that malevolent agi retrofits the same technology onto humans and turns us into the cockroaches, making us slave away in data centers as cheap plentiful meat robots that have no mouth but really would like to scream

Le_M

You talked about Finlands unemployment situation in one episode. I am Finnish and if you want more insight on the issue I am available for contact.

Brady Blacher

The Swedish elections are today and I am bamboozled that Aiden has not mentioned it

Juliana

With the first story my first thought was about maya - i think we need a lemonade stand x alveus collab👀

30:00 for the past couple years it's been clear that this space: internal tools for specific tasks and workflows, is where the early utility of AI is. I'm launching a company right now for the internal tools that are a bit more complex than this example. Our first solution is in oil and gas, partnering with a local company. A couple years ago, one of the ivy leagues did a study that indicated internal teams fail more often when trying to build these products, when compared to external teams. And that may have been due to an initial disparity of AI expertise, or could be more fundamental, so I'm looking forward to more modern replication of that study.

zero regulation is like the same as zero anti-trust people will always go too far if no one is there to stop them

Qbig

I am german and feel like only a small minority of AFD voters actually believe in the nazi and more extremist stuff. The big Problem is that every other party wants to fix every problem by imposing new taxes . The german people allready are getting poorer by the weakening ecnomy and most partys try to fix the national problem by pulling more money from people. I pay 47% tax allready and people are mostly trying to stand up to the legacy parties that want to jack this stuff up even more. There is talks about lowering income taxes, but that i done by lowering it only for the lowest amount of income. The moment you get more than 70k a year you are considered "rich" and are paying the highest amount. then its followed by talks of more taxes on sugary products and other stuff. The only other party people vote for out of desperation is "Die Linke" a left wing party that is arguably more extreme than the AFD . they are trying to get the government to take away property from companys and private citizens in order to "fix" the housing situation. that paired with a "wealth tax" which is good if it was only used for very very rich people with like hundreds of millions of dollars. but according to them you are rich the moment you reach over 70k a year . The political situation is hopeless here.

Linus Andersson

I've been waiting for the LS coverage to figure out who to vote for, now I don't know what to do.

Wesley Red

I want you guys to pay attention, specifically Aiden referencing LeBron making money as a black billionaire. This is what systemic oppression and subvert racism look like in 2026. WHY DOES THIS FUCKING BILLIONAIRE GET TO MAKE MORE MONEY? Oh is that John Leguizamo? Neat. FUCKING SPIKE LEE?!? You all are the white liberals that keep America from being Sweden. I love the show btw obviously, I pay for the Patreon, but I believe you all are uniquely self-aware enough to take criticism and not, say, block me from your Patreon. As my cave to being complicit in white fragility, I will acknowledge that you all (especially Big Atrioch) are very on point about bringing up issues that I never hear about happening in African countries and still provide the most left leaning perspective from almost any major American outlet. Keep up the good work.

Wesley Red

I can’t stress enough that you guys are not the problem by and large, but seeing it highlighted was a little upsetting.

YellowGin

Bro the human controlled thing is literally the servitors from Warhammer 40K, it’s penance and everything. Criminals just have their free will taken to just do repairs and random tasks.

Ken

Super stoked you guys didn’t take a godfather offer from a gambling company. I am SO SICK of gambling ads. I am ready for an outright ban on all gambling apps, I don’t give a shit if you gamble but you gotta go to a physical casino or store. Having unlimited gambling on your phone has become a cancer quicker than I ever expected.

Melon_n_n

Relating to the point about restricting thc %, I know this isnt the case for all places in Canada, but in Manitoba we have much more strict regulations on the thc content of the weed we can buy. Edibles are capped at 10mg thc per package, and while originally i wished there were higher % options, seeing how it's playing out everywhere else i actually think we have done it a much better way. (Selfishly i do wish it allowed for a LITTLE higher though lol)

dinlaslamark

can confirm this restriction worked bc now I need to have multiple gummies to get the same high but can't afford to eat that much sugar

Melon_n_n

Yeah it really does force you to have to take a break to get the same high, and it makes it so you cant really go too crazy with your thc intake because of the restrictions. It really does work.

Conner is a true artist. All of his films and shows are the most beautiful and devastating characters. Please please please look through his catalog. https://youtu.be/eiNkZu7X2DY

Johannes Dinsen Petersen

Just wanted to say that I appreciate you declining the gambling-sponsorships. While not partnering with society-ruining should be a low bar to clear for anyone, it clearly isn’t. So, I appreciate y’all for staying true to yourselves on this and not cashing in by selling out

Lemonade Stand

I appreciate the pushback here as I can understand where this is coming from but I think to say that we view other notable white billionaires solely (or even primarily) as like a gaff or joke is not accurate. I'd probably argue that a huge portion of the identity of the show is about belittling those people and pointing out how they are ruining society, whether it's in the frame of a joke or not (we do both). If it feels like I'm singling out LeBron here it mostly has to do with my own frustration with the infiltration of gambling into every aspect of society, but I think I've represented my disgust for Elon, Bezos, Trump, etc. pretty consistently across the rest of the show. Ty for your thoughts / weighing in As for my exclamation at Spike Lee, I think for me and my understanding of his work and what he represents, it's extremely surprising to see him in a corporate gambling ad, but maybe that is my misunderstanding of his positions and art. - Aiden

Wesley Red

Thanks for the response. Love y’all.

rasambowl

missed the part about the loan officer story being a patron I listened to that entire story thinking “good for hugs86 man”

THATS RICHARD SHERMAN NOT DAVANTE HELL NAH

When Aiden doesn't go into any detail on his insurance friends AI win, it sounds like he's just celebrating creating AI automations to reduce headcount - go team

ThatDanMan

I think that the AI example that Aiden brought forward is actually the epitome of why people are worried about job loss. Instead of bringing that idea forward to management and them hiring an entry level developer to get some experience under their belt, you give one employee a raise that is larger than many Americans will make in a year in their entire lives for "vibe coding" it. This is the job loss that many are worried about or already impacted by.

ThatDanMan

But more importantly, why did we skip the hog-off?

Daniel

I don’t think any individual should be punished for cheating on Kalashi until Kalshi is treated like a casino. I think that’s bullshit. How is it insider trading if it’s just a prediction market?

Daniel

Europe wants to be America so fucking bad it’s pathetic. We suck. What are you chasing after?

Eric Landgraf

prohibition will never work, restrict the thc% and people are gonna go buy them on the black market and they could get synthetic cannabinoids etc.
