The Truth (In My Opinion)

'If AI is here, at least let it do some nice things!'

'If AI is here, at least let it do some nice things!' It's a difficult statement and one that Cody and producer Becky try and get to the bottom of in this episode.The number of data centres in the UK is increasing, with the threat of some being built in some beautiful rural areas like Devon. But what would this actually mean for the local environments and how do we make companies responsible for their own sustainability? Plus a story that could shine a positive light on what is predominantly a grey cloud - AI.

'Have white supremacists gone woke?'

'Have white supremacists gone woke?' It's a difficult question and one that Cody and producer Becky try and get to the bottom of in this episode.The right wing nutters have stepped it up a level and have started letting girls in on their weird shenanigans, but the real question is does this make them woke? We also can't ignore the chasm in salaries at the BBC, spotlighted by new information that before he was sacked Scott Mills had received a £400,000 pay rise. As ex-BBC employees, Cody and Producer Becky dig into what they think this means for the creative giants. Plus someone has made a life size scuplture of Charlie Kirk, and no we don't know why either! Our wonderful commentmaxxers also sparked conversation around Cody's inability to shut up, the data centres sprining up around the UK (more on that next week) and AI that could actually be taking over the world.

'Do you know the real reason robots haven't taken over the world?'

'Do you know the real reason robots haven't taken over the world?' It's a difficult question and one that Cody and producer Becky try and get to the bottom of in this episode.Donald Trump is back to doing what he does best... being Donald Trump. With the war in Iran back on, Greenland back on his agenda and tarrif drama taking over the headlines, it seems Trump 2.0 is here. Also there is one reason why robots haven't taken over the world and Cody is keen to fill us in. Plus RyanAir flights from hell are preoccupying producer Becky's thoughts.Here are the headlines discussed in this episode:https://www.theguardian.com/technology/ng-interactive/2026/jul/06/china-dextrous-robotic-hands-humanoid?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Otherhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy5vx19ey0wohttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-canada-greenland-map-threats-b3014916.htmlhttps://www.ft.com/content/0f3ba8c7-eb96-4c18-a274-b8f8609b8f0c?syn-25a6b1a6=1https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly8yjnw822oJoin us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/thetruthimopodcastFollow The Truth (In My Opinion) on Instagram and Tiktok: @thetruthimoGet in touch: truthimo@gmail.comThe Truth (In My Opinion) is a comedy podcast hosted by Cody Dahler.Produced, recorded and edited by Becky Carewe-Jeffries for Daily Dose Productions.
