Anti-Tech Extremism - 2026-06-01

This episode covers a Wired report on the rise of “anti-tech extremism” and growing public opposition to AI infrastructure projects, including debates over data centers, resource consumption, local communities, and government responses. The hosts also discuss AI coding assistants, model safety restrictions, and the evolving capabilities of large language models. Additional topics include Anthropic’s reported IPO plans and valuation, AI’s impact on the tech industry, and a conversation with David Bianco about AI-generated threat-hunting datasets and cybersecurity training.
