Ep 150 Ayo Technology
from Black and Snerdy Podcast Hosted by Ode and Mo "Kid" Licorish
Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo "Kid" Licorish (@licorishislegit) hit a major milestone in this 150th episode of Black and Snerdy, kicking things off with a playful argument over whether their birthday special should have reset the episode count. The celebration serves as a springboard for a deeper look at the podcast’s longevity and their commitment to "shooting the shit" at the intersection of nerd culture and the Black experience. The heart of the episode explores a staple of the community: Red Lobster. The hosts break down the cultural weight the restaurant carries for Black families and react to the historic appointment of Damola Adamolokun, its first Nigerian CEO. The conversation then shifts to the darker side of modern tech, specifically the privacy and ethical red flags surrounding Grok and XAI. From opt-out settings and training data controversies to the NAACP's legal challenges against Elon Musk’s AI initiatives, they provide a sharp critique of current digital trends, including a brief, comical look at the bizarre world of AI-driven relationships.
