1008: Apple's Car Wreck
We explore the shattered dreams of the Apple Car project, share breaking news on cybersecurity breaches at the Department of Foreign Affairs, and dig into a new survey of how 50% of Irish businesses are using AI.
We also cover the fallout of the Odysseus moon landing, why we’re surprised at TikTok pulling Universal music from its platform and even get a glimpse of some Star Trek type tech from MWC.
Afterwards, we chat about e-sports and how similar they are to real sports with Prof Mark Campbell, a senior lecturer and Director of the Esport Science Research Lab in Lero, the Science Foundation Ireland Centre for Software Research at the University of Limerick. -
1007: AI Out of Control. Do We Need a Kill Switch?
We’re talking about OpenAI's groundbreaking text-to-video image generator which may not be as great as they say. In fact, AI has been doing some very strange things lately, with some people calling for a ‘kill switch’ to be baked in.
We chat about that, plus a look at what’s just landed on the moon and TikToks restructuring in Ireland.
Our guest this week is Ann-Marie Clyne from Mastercard who shares the surprising amount of tech they have based in Ireland. She also tells us how they are using the Fasttrack to IT apprenticeship programme to recruit new tech staff here.

Tech radio
This is the worst. It isn’t even on the actual radio. It is in Ireland which also makes it bad because they are all gingers. Real tech radio is better.
