Hard Fork
The New York Times
Journalists and experts debating emerging tech's societal implications, often through A.I. and cryptocurrency lenses.
Why we picked this
We picked Hard Fork because two New York Times tech reporters arguing weekly about the industry is more useful than any panel. Kevin Roose and Casey Newton treat the news as a shared problem rather than a press release, trading pointed analysis and genuine disagreement instead of conventional wisdom. The show covers AI policy, platform dysfunction, and regulatory failure with the specificity of insiders who actually call the officials involved. The banter is fast; the reporting is faster.
