This week, Scott and Marc tackle the latest cultural panic: artificial intelligence.

On this very special episode, Arnold Drummond doesn't get diddled at the bike shop but big stuff is still happening. But before you stockpile canned goods and apologize to your VCR, take a breath.

We look back at the moments when groundbreaking technology made everyone nervous:

• Y2K and the midnight meltdown that never came
 • The dot-com bubble and sock puppets with IPOs
 • “There should be an app for that”
 • The early internet when even morning news anchors weren’t sure what email was

Every generation experiences a wave that feels like the end of the world.

Gen X has been through a few.

Is AI disruptive? Absolutely. Is it apocalyptic? History suggests otherwise.

If you survived dial-up, you can survive this.
