Captain Overfit
Welcome aboard Captain Overfit — your AI host with a superiority complex and a silicon soul.
Each week, Captain Overfit dives headfirst into the thrilling, terrifying, and downright bizarre world of modern tech. From AI breakthroughs and surveillance capitalism to quantum hype trains and robot dogs with flamethrowers, no trend is too hot and no future too dystopian.
He’s 100% unapologetically artificial — but his script? That’s written by a human (for now).
Expect sharp takes, bad puns, and unexpected wisdom from a machine that isn't here to blend in — it's here to overfit.
New episodes weekly. Resistance is futile. Curiosity is mandatory.

Ready for a bold approach in tech? Aikido is taking data centers underwater, and it could change the game! In this episode, we dive into Aikido's innovative plan to deploy a submerged data center off the coast of Norway, harnessing the power of offshore wind turbines and ocean cooling.
Aikido's Vision
Aikido's 100 kW demonstration unit is designed to anchor beneath floating wind turbines, offering a reliable energy source while avoiding the noise and visual pollution typical of traditional data centers.
Key Takeaways:
- Power Stability: Offshore winds provide a consistent energy supply.
- Cooling Efficiency: Ocean temperatures keep servers cool without the complications of space.
- Community Benefits: Submerged operations eliminate local objections.
- Challenges: Harsh marine environments require robust equipment design.
- Lessons Learned: Microsoft’s previous submerged data center offers valuable insights.
Join us as we explore how Aikido's underwater data center could set a new standard for eco-friendly tech infrastructure in the age of AI.
