If you have been living under a rock, let me tell you: Tech Won't Save Us is one of the better podcasts out there. Now we're kind of living in the golden age of tech-critical podcasts (Better Offline, This Machine Kills, etc) but hey, the more the better. But this makes Podcast Friday even more important to really surface the best episodes to the surface, since we can't listen to them all. ;)

So I was browsing TWSU' archive and the golden words hit me in the face: Time for a Butlerian Jihad?: A ‘Dune’ Chat w/ Ed Ongweso Jr & Brian Merchant. As a committed Dune fan, I could not skip this episode. Basically discussing the necessity of a Butlerian Jihad in the age of AI, while geeking out on the release of Dune part deux. No great insights but a lot of fun all around. Apparently there's even a hammer ready for the jihad:
