Everything's a computer.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Yes, it is twenty twenty five, and everything is indeed computer.
But that doesn't just mean self driving cars. It also
means your parents sending you a Facebook picture of shrimp Jesus.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
There was this one image where Jesus had the face
of Jesus but the arms of shrimp, and it was
just like obviously insane, like an insane image.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
But this kind of thing is everywhere, just like true
crime shows. Written by chat Gpt.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
He said, what I'm doing making these AI videos is
actually better than real true crime because there's no real
victims involved.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I'm Dexter Thomas and I'm the host of kill Switch,
where we explain the right now of living in the future,
everything from making money on saving fake baby animals to
how you could get arrested by a police algorithm.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Police are trusting this kind of they're kind of imbuing
this software with this magical ability to lead them to.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
The right suspect.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
So your accuser, is this a computer rhythm as computer program?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Maybe this is the new normal, but we're still gonna
ask some questions.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Now we're at the point where with AI, like you
could be fake now and I have no idea if
you really exist, or vice versa.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
If you go back and forth between thinking this tech
stuff is really cool and wanting to personally shut it
all down, then kill switch might be for you. Look,
the more user friendly our devices get, the less we
understand how these things work. So every Wednesday we talk
to people to help us understand how our tech focused
society works or doesn't work. Follow us at Killswitch from

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
