The ProBoh Show

AI Agents Are Eating the Web, and What Education Is Really For

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at how the Dead Internet Theory may have been partly right, as AI agents increasingly consume, generate, and reshape online content, with their activity reportedly growing by nearly 8,000%. Today’s unpopular opinion was: education should produce informed citizens, not employable workers. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name something school and employment have in common. The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.

The Odyssey's Success Frustrates Elon Musk, and the Myth of Workplace Loyalty

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at Elon Musk's claim that Grok Imagine could create a "historically accurate" AI adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey, and what that might mean for the future of filmmaking. Then we discussed why some voices in MAGA America have turned to conspiracy theories to explain the unexpected box office success of The Odyssey.

AI Takes Over Netflix, Andy Burnham Becomes PM, and the Case for Greed

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at Netflix’s growing use of generative AI, including the revelation that around 300 titles used AI this year, and why the company paid a staggering $587 million for Ben Affleck’s AI startup, InterPositive. Then we discussed the political shake-up in the UK as the "King of the North," Andy Burnham, became Britain's seventh prime minister in just a decade. Today’s unpopular opinion was: greed has improved more lives than generosity. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name something people are greedy for.
