They criticize the elevation of figures like Andrew Yang and Steve Wozniak as "intellectual giants" in the AI debate. The segment characterizes the current AI movement as a "false idol" replacing previous scientific trends.

John C. Dvorak discusses his early access to Segway patents via Paul Saffo and his subsequent skeptical columns in Forbes.

Tech commentator Kara Swisher attributed the bias to the lack of diversity among the programmers who write the algorithms. The hosts dispute this, suggesting the code is likely written by a diverse global workforce and that the issue is more about the "black box" nature of automated financial decisions.

An open letter to Congress argued that the FCC lacks a technical understanding of the internet. The hosts argue that the rules were never fully implemented and that the "pioneers" are seeking government regulation to protect their own corporate interests.

Additionally, the hosts discuss the concept of "neurodiversity" entering school administrations. This movement suggests that conditions like autism are natural variations rather than disorders, which the hosts suspect is a way for schools to reduce spending on expensive special education programs.

While some attribute the move to Jobs' failing health, an alternative theory suggests he is "going Galt," referencing Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. Steve Wozniak's comments on Jobs' guiding philosophies are used to support the idea of a CEO revolt against society.
