Greetings from Read Max HQ! Today, the first in what I hope will be a regular series with my old friend Sam Biddle, senior technology reporter at the Intercept and a former writer for Gawker and Valleywag, in which we discuss tech-industry news and b******t that otherwise wouldn’t make it into the newsletter. In this episode we’re talking:

* A.G.I., A.I., and why we hate the term;

* Sarah Wynn-Williams’ new book on Facebook and Facebook’s bizarre reaction to it; and

* our favorite files from the J.F.K. release

Links to some of what we discuss in this podcast:
