  • Nonsense desperately tries to make sense of today’s business, technology, and (sometimes) entertainment headlines. Not too serious and occasionally funny, join technologist cj little and leggy blonde Jeff Parker for their unique take on the past week. While we can’t promise you’ll laugh every week, we can promise you’ll learn something new (and maybe even interesting) New episodes drop every Thursday morning (UTC). Produced by an orangutan; art thanks to artificial intelligence. https://nonsense.productions Twitter: @nnsnspdcst Instagram: @nnsnspdcst Gmail: nnsnspdcst@gmail.com

    The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a vast accumulation of plastic debris floating in the North Pacific Ocean. It's estimated to be twice the size of Texas, with millions of tons of plastic waste. This patch is a result of ocean currents that trap debris in a gyre. It's a significant environmental concern -- but who is responsible for it?


    But before we get to that, the boys remember James Earl Jones, look at Apple and Google's recent defeats in the EU, and discuss the world's first tri-fold phone.

(41:37) cj’s recommendation: College Football Craziness. (43:47) Jeff’s Recommendation: Dodger History! We love you, listener, and we love your questions. This week we field one of the more interesting questions sent in recently about consciousness, namely: when will our kids finally obtain it, and how might an Artificial Intelligence achieve it? But this begs the question: what is consciousness? Turns out, that’s the hard part, but we’re going to try our best to button everything up in 45 minutes of your time. And before we jump into that, there’s Oprah’s AI special, bugs in software (weird!), and the Minecraft Movie trailer!

    Summer is over, and just like that, Nonsense is off hiatus and back with your weekly dose of technology, business, and maybe a laugh or two (no promises though).

    Being gone for most of August, we knew we’d have to cover a bunch of missed headlines from the month - so this week we dive into a bit of everything, from your listening devices, more setbacks at Boeing, Telegram founder drama, pervasive semaglutide thoughts, and The Copies of Shaolin. The Stealers Wheel summarized our thoughts on this best: “clowns to the left of us, jokers to the right, here we are stuck in the middle with you.”


    It’s a wild ride, but we suspect you’re going to love getting back into the swing of things with us!
