<p>A former Anthropic employee claimed AI would lead to the end of humanity, and soon. In the weeks since, the “whistleblower” has done a full press tour, with even Anthropic and OpenAI themselves seeming to cosign this claim. As a result, hysteria has ensued—and that’s exactly what these AI companies want. On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by <a href="https://www.betteroffline.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Better Offline</em></a> host and #1 AI Hater Ed Zitron to debunk the doomsdayers, and explain <em>why</em>, exactly, these companies are so interested in the end of the world. </p><br><p>This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.</p><p>Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?

Told in 90 second clips, these stories are soap operas for the smartphone era, and are keeping the industry afloat during an otherwise turbulent time for Hollywood. On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Yahoo senior culture reporter <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/author/kelsey-weekman-276/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kelsey Weekman</a> to hear why dedicated fans are tuning into such ridiculous stories, and how AI is already threatening to bring this rare good thing to an end. </p><br><p>This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.</p><p>Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?

K-smog and Batboy caught flipping a grunt.</a>” If that’s also what every headline sounds like to you, then you’re in the right place.

<p>How many apps does it take to raise a child in 2026? Not only are parents navigating countless WhatsApp groups and summer camp platforms, there’s also a whole world of Reels, subreddits, and Facebook groups filled with advice. Often, however, the answers just lead to more questions. On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by <em>What Next: TBD</em> host Lizzie O’Leary to talk about the parenting side of the internet, and how understandable anxieties play out online. </p><br><p>This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.</p><p>Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?

<p>Many women are hiding their boyfriends online, or losing followers if they hard-launch. Some go as far as to say having a boyfriend “feels republican.” Is this heterofatalism gone too far, or a long-overdue correction to the patriarchy? On today’s encore episode host Kate Lindsay was joined by writer and content creator Josh Lora, who also goes by <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tellthebeees?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TellTheBees</a>. Josh’s Substack essay, <a href="https://tellthebeees.substack.com/p/boyfriendland" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Boyfriendland</a>, was cited in the viral <em>Vogue</em> article written by Chanté Joseph, “<a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/is-having-a-boyfriend-embarrassing-now" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?</a>” </p><br><p>This podcast is produced by Daisy Rosario, Vic Whitley-Berry, and Kate Lindsay.</p><p>Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?

<p>The rise of AI has led to a rise of distrust, but the “tools” used to identify AI and plagiarism are perpetuating preexisting biases. Jason Arday, the former Cambridge professor who was found dead in his home last month, is the latest in a string of headline-making scandals targeting writers and academics of color, while white infractors fall quickly out of the news cycle. In today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@thedreydossier" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Drey Dossier</a> to discuss why plagiarism and AI accusations are our weapon of the moment, and why institutions, not individuals, should bear the brunt of our frustrations. </p><br><p>This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.</p><p>Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?

<p>Do you remember the last time you had fun online? In recent years, it’s felt like social media has become overridden with hot takes, discourse, and something called “bean soup theory,” and it’s making the internet a frustrating place to be. In today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by social strategist Carmen Vicente to talk about why TikTok is starting to feel like Twitter, and if every social media platform is doomed to the same fate. But the real question is: Is it because of us, or them? </p><br><p>This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.</p><p>Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?

<p>True crime has always been entertainment, but social media has turned tragedies like the Lindsay Clancy trial into monocultural moments. It’s not enough to read the news, many people who are especially tuned-in are also spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories as part of participating in the larger fandom. On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Leah Carroll, a true crime writer and author of the book <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/down-city-a-daughter-s-story-of-love-memory-and-murder-leah-carroll/3c5bd5a4b6428512?" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Down City: A Daughter's Story of Love, Memory, and Murder</em></a>, to discuss the impact of social media’s obsession, and how Leah’s own experience with family tragedy informs her perspective on true crime. </p><br><p>This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.</p><p>Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?

<p>The WNBA has finally taken center stage, but the fandom is going through it. New eyes on the sport have brought new scrutiny, which has resulted in racist and transphobic trolling that pulls focus from the actual games. On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay talks with WNBA online commentator <a href="https://www.instagram.com/arperry01/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Angela Perry</a> about the needless controversies that have dominated sports media, and the ways players are using the internet to tell their own, much-needed stories instead. </p><br><p>This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.</p><p>Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?

<p>Technology keeps trying to “fix” every small inconvenience in our lives, which has rendered us completely unable to endure basic hurdles such as sitting in silence, navigating unfamiliar social social interactions, and doing any kind of creative thinking. To reverse this, Kathryn Jezer Morton, writer of <em>The Cut’s</em> “Brooding” column and author of the new book <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/768019/the-story-of-your-life-by-kathryn-jezer-morton/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Story of Your Life</em></a>, proposes we “friction-maxx.” On today’s encore episode, Kathryn joins host Kate Lindsay to figure out how to rebuild our tolerance for the very things that, it turns out, make us human.</p><br><p>This podcast is produced by Daisy Rosario, Vic Whitley-Berry, and Kate Lindsay.</p><p>Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?

The issue divided the internet, when really, both things can be true: Influencer culture is harmful, and “influencer” has become a pejorative word for any woman who posts online. On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay talks with writer <a href="https://spitfirenews.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kat Tenbarge</a> about how the word “influencer” has belittled female creators since the beginning, and how male creators have escaped the same scrutiny.</p><br><p>This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.</p><p>Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?

<p>Hank Green is finally burning out. After creating for the internet for almost 20 years, the YouTuber (and one half of Vlogbrothers) confessed to having a “not healthy” relationship with AI, relying on the tool to help him create more and more content. Viewers, however, feel betrayed, and worry they can no longer trust Hank’s work to be his own. In today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay talks with <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@cavatica" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Charlotte Moore-Lambert</a>, who like Hank is a science communications creator and mutuals with him on TikTok. She made <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@cavatica/video/7669247624020626718" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">her own video</a> about the controversy, about how we got here, and why there’s no such thing as ethical AI. </p><br><p>Note: While preparing this episode, Hank Green dropped a new video about this controversy on the Vlogbrothers YouTube channel.

<p>We don’t know how to talk about bodies online. When a popular content creator named <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@samyra?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Samyra</a> posted a TikTok accusing The Cheesecake Factory’s “Skinnylicious” menu as fatphobic, the internet couldn’t stop itself from berating her about her size. But when Ariana Grande releases a new music video and people express alarm about her weight loss, suddenly it’s inappropriate to discuss other people’s bodies. </p><br><p>Today, we’re joined by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/badfatblackgirl/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sesali Bowen</a>, author of <em>Bad Fat Black Girl: Notes From a Trap Feminist</em> to help make sense of all this and why it seems like it’s open season to litigate on fat people’s bodies.</p><br><p>Get more of ICYMI with Slate Plus!

<p>The internet is never not nostalgic for the past, but something about the 90s is different. While previous trends like Y2K and “millennial optimism” have been mostly about the hair and clothes, 90s nostalgia is all about the tech. Or rather,<em> lack </em>of tech. Host Kate Lindsay and showrunner Daisy Rosario talk about what social media gets right about the decade, and what’s just “nostalgia slop” trying to sell us something.

<p>Women’s health is being yassified online, from ill-advised marketing campaigns by companies trying to go viral to creators pushing anti-abortion agendas under the guise of “natural” birth control.

Writer <a href="https://www.noelleperdue.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Noelle Perdue</a> experienced this first-hand, and joined host Kate Lindsay on today’s episode to talk about the real-world harm of this online rhetoric. </p><br><p>This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.</p><p>Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?

<p>The app-ification of dating has made meeting people even more difficult. But no one ever talks about what comes after: when you are in a relationship with someone, and have brand new digital etiquette to decipher. When do you hard launch? How much should you post each other? And is it really that bad if they’re still liking other people’s thirst traps? On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Slate senior editor <a href="https://slate.com/author/tony-ho-tran" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tony Ho Tran</a>, whose long-term relationship took place mainly online before the pair could live in the same place.

<p>Platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket have expanded from letting people bet on just sports to everything from political events to reality TV, and even the weather. But by injecting financial incentives into things like disease outbreaks, we’re even more susceptible to bad actors and manipulation.
