  • AI's Dirty Secret, or How To Spend Half A Million Dollars of Supercomputing - Omnibus edition
    Dec 5 2023

    Welcome to the launch series of The See Through News Podcast.

    Unlike our sibling podcast, The Truth Lies In Bedtime Stories from See Through News, which fictionalises true stories and is entirely true, largely, The See Through News podcast is entirely true, full stop.

    Beyond cleaving to fact, and eschewing fiction, there’s no fixed format.

    It could be a journalist narrating an audio version of one of their articles.

    Or a conversation between journalists, or between experts, or between journalists and experts.

    And sometimes, like today, a true-life story narrated in the style of a novel, radio drama or movie script.

    Here’s George Hinchliffe reading AI’s Dirty Secret, or How To Spend Half A Million Dollars of Supercomputing.
