Listen "A Blast From Computing Past"
Episode Synopsis
Same as it ever was: On this week’s podcast, Paul and Rich take a spin through a 1980 issue of Omni magazine, comparing how computers were being discussed back then with how AI is talked about today. Featuring an essay by Frank Herbert (yes, of Dune), IBM’s early-80s consumer pitch, and a meditation on the question: What does “new technology” even mean?
