08 Oct 2025

Description

RSVP for Chicago Digg Meetup! https://app.getriver.io/beta/events/digg-human-captcha-chicago-irl-meetup-sc1In this week’s Diggnation:Kevin and Alex drink a mysterious brain fuel that tastes like chemical warfare, get roasted by OpenAI’s video model (bald caps included), and pitch a LAN party for aging nerds. They also question if computer science degrees still matter, fantasize about neurotech that forces you to work out, and ask the most pressing question of our time: what if Instagram was just... Instagram again? Oh, and there's a legit HIV prevention breakthrough hiding in there, too.SponsorsZBioticsGet 15% off your first order at zbiotics.com/DIGG with code DIGG at checkout.SquareLearn how your business can grow at square.com/go/DIGGClaude (by Anthropic)Get 50% off your first three months of Claude Pro at claude.ai/DIGGDeleteMeSave 20% on your DeleteMe plan at joindeleteme.com/DIGG using code DIGGMonarch MoneyGet 50% off your first year at monarchmoney.com with code DIGGChapter Markers00:00 Intro03:01 The Shirtening Cometh + When Digg Collabed with Nike06:06 Happy Birthday, Now Here’s a Deep Cut About Early Digg07:42 Kevin’s Pro Phone Era and Apple’s Unhinged Glass UI10:13 Tron Eris, Fake Beer, and Probiotics for Grown-Up Drinkers14:15 Sora 2 Balds Kevin, Internet Debates If It’s an Upgrade17:18 Deepfakes, Surrogates, and the Death of “That’s Clearly Fake”21:31 Brain Zaps for Gym Motivation: Welcome to the Neurotech Era26:11 Huawei Shrinks AI, Your GPU Fan Starts Screaming28:36 Local AI Models, No Cloud, No Corporate Listening Devices34:10 Sponsored by Square: Tap to Pay, Stay for the Data35:56 Claude 4.5 Fixes Code, GPT-5 Throws Vibes and Errors41:20 Why Build Apps When AI Can Just Read Your Mind42:44 Kevin Gives Away Free App Ideas, Again45:46 “Old Man Weekend”: LAN Parties, Diner Coffee, No Wi-Fi Allowed52:13 Sponsor Break: Delete Yourself, Then Budget Wisely54:12 The $40 HIV Shot That Could Change Everything56:30 Herpes, Stats, and the Stigma Nobody Wants to Talk About1:02:14 Instagram, But Worse: Where Photos Go to Die1:07:07 Windowless Jet, Giant Screens, and One Extremely Texas Grill
