The Mistake-Doing Episode: A Tale of L1 Interference
In this harrowing instalment of AI Unfiltered, Ian and Michael venture deep into the treacherous world of L1 interference: the subtle, sinister force that causes second-language mishaps, awkward phrasing, and, in Michael’s case, one truly unforgivable linguistic blunder committed live on air. The consequences? Tragic. Catastrophic. Entirely self-inflicted.From grammar gremlins to cross-lingual chaos, the hosts unpack how native-language patterns sneak into speech — and why some mistakes echo far beyond the recording studio. Listener discretion advised: contains scenes of grammatical violence. (This description was written with the help of AI)

Agentic Browsers
Ian and Michael dig into the new world of agentic browsers, and the idea of a browser that not only searches but shops, books flights, and does chores for you. They debate whether handing an agent the keys to your cart is convenience or surveillance, grumble through browser nostalgia from Mosaic to Chrome, and worry about the economics and resource costs behind AI.

Foldable Phones and Other Flat Ideas
Ian and Michael unfold (literally) the future of tech — from Apple’s rumored foldable phone and the disappearing crease, to the strange evolution of how we work, present, and design in a world obsessed with “new” for its own sake. They dive into the stagnation of business tools, the fantasy of the “AI presenter,” and the growing absurdity of constant multitasking in the age of screens that follow you from room to room.

Workslop and Other Awesome Signs of Progress
Ian and Michael unpack the newly coined term workslop, the kind of messy, half-baked output that happens when people use AI to make their lives easier and their coworkers’ lives harder. From lazy automation to the myth of “efficiency,” they rant their way through human shortcuts, failing AI projects, and our growing appetite for convenience. Along the way, the discussion drifts into shoplifting, delivery drones, and the creeping future where even grocery runs are automated. As always, it’s part tech talk, part social commentary, and part existential sigh. (This description was generated with AI)
