We're back and better than ever! Welcome to season 2 of Kill All Humans, Data in Pop Culture.

It seems like so much has happened between the end of last season and today - Generative AI, Elon buying Twitter, TikTok under scrutiny.... So what better to start off our second season with than one of our favourite films, Hackers!

In this episode, Tim and Matthew discuss the real and fantastical elements of this mid-90s masterpiece, including themes of social engineering attacks, influences on pop and corporate culture, neurodiversity, sexism, and law enforcement.

Tim and Matthew are BACK with a brand new episode! Today, we talk about the classic problem of AI and the law - how would one put a collection of algorithms on trial, or even find them legally liable for their own actions? We explored this idea through the classic Star Trek Voyager episode "Author Author". Remember to like, subscribe, share, or leave a review!

On today's episode, Matthew and Tim rewatched the 2011 movie Contagion, and dig into how scarily precedent this movie was for today's pandemic. We look at the pandemic in not only terms of hard numbers for health care, but also in terms of roads, consumer goods (like toilet paper!), and even go into why it's never a good idea for governments to underinvest in data infrastructure. We did this all while trying to maintain a sense of humour...enjoy!
