    Can You Beat a Boa, Understand Time, and Survive Digg IRL? | E18 | Diggnation
    Aug 6 2025

    This week on Diggnation: Kevin discovers a squatter secretly living in a staged LA home during a house tour, Alex tries to explain time dilation without having a full existential meltdown, and the team breaks down what actually happened at Digg’s first real-world community meetup. We’re talking mind blanking, deep meditation states that register as sleep, and why your brain sometimes just stops working for a bit. Plus: rollable laptops, modular microLED home theaters, ChatGPT’s 700 million users, and why we’re finally moving the Digg app out of TestFlight and into the App Store for real.

    0:15:41 – Your brain sometimes goes full blank on purpose
    0:17:55 – Kevin meditated so hard his ring thought he died
    0:23:44 – Time isn’t real and Einstein broke everyone’s brain
    0:26:27 – Laptops now roll up like scrolls, because of course
    0:34:50 – ChatGPT hits 700M users, including your mom
    0:36:54 – Claude, Gemini, Perplexity: the AI hunger games begin

  • A First Look at Digg iOS | E016 | Diggnation

    A First Look at Digg iOS | E016 | Diggnation
    Jun 25 2025
    In this episode, the Digg CEO drops by to give a private demo of the iOS app that may or may not change your scrolling habits forever. We also dive into reports that Apple’s been sniffing around Perplexity in a possible bid to stay in the AI race it forgot to enter. Kevin opens up about launching his new podcast *Less Than One*, sobriety milestones, and post-fire clarity. Alex reveals the kitchen remodel purgatory he’s barely survived. Plus: autofocus glasses that might kill bifocals, a whole tangent on local LLMs, and a brief appearance from Jeffrey Dahmer’s hypothetical smart speaker voice. It’s a lot. It’s Diggnation.Polycade Marquee – Want to see your custom Polycade marquee featured on the show? Submit a still image or short video (MP4, 1920x360 resolution, 30fps).
