Adam Curry discusses his use of AI for writing Python code and automating repetitive tasks, such as sorting donor lists. He shares a "status report" from his AI that uses overly complex technical jargon to explain a simple structural failure. Despite the chatbots' flaws, Curry finds value in the subscription for building small tools and managing show metadata.

Bobi, a Portuguese guard dog recognized as the world's oldest dog, passed away at the age of 31. The discussion highlights that Bobi reportedly ate only human food "scraps" rather than commercial dog food. This is used to support the claim that dogs, as natural scavengers, may live longer on traditional diets than on processed kibble.

### Media Literacy, Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal

- **Episode:** [1179: Vooden Sporks](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1179-vooden-sporks.md)
- **Published:** 2019-10-10

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1179-vooden-sporks/chapter/media-literacy-jonathan-swift-s-modest-proposal.md

The reaction to the "eat the babies" stunt highlights a lack of media literacy, as many conservative commentators and YouTubers treated the satire as a genuine leftist proposal. This modern incident is compared to Jonathan Swift's 1729 essay, "A Modest Proposal," which suggested the Irish poor sell their children as food to the rich as a satirical critique of economic policy. The discussion also touches on 1980s media reports regarding the impoverished eating dog food during the Reagan administration.

The hosts also report on Purina's new dog food made from crickets and fish heads, marketed as a way to combat climate change. Finally, they mock a bizarre grooming trend involving applying glitter to male dogs' testicles.
