85: On that Day the Dead Shall Wake Thee

We've gone back to a total classic of the apocalypse genre, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, to mark our return from our "brief sojourn" in the realms of the afterlife. We get into all sorts of stuff about childhood traumas caused by the film, the desirability of voiceover in movies, the ATM-hacking skills of young John Connor; it's all here. We open the episode by discussing the recently revealed "birthday letter" and consider what its implications might be, both for Trump's future and for his taste in art.We then segue into a recent article from Politico about the "inevitability" of AI being integrated into the US's nuclear defense program and why that might be...a bad idea.This episode contains spoilers for Terminator 2: Judgment Day.Politico on AI, escalation, and potential nuclear warSend us Fan Mailhttps://www.instagram.com/theendoftheworldwms/https://youtube.com/@TheEndoftheWorldwMS?si=xmj-2e0s58JdN8-Bhttps://linktr.ee/endoftheworldwithmichaelandstu
