Obsidian! 1996 called and it wants its database back.

On the reg

It's been quite the month. Jason was pulled over in the Tinny (again), Inger had a mole taken off her foot. We skipped the mailbag in favour of a deep nerd chat about Obsidian starting at 32:51. The discussion gets waylaid part way through by a mutual existential freakout about Claude Opus. It's... a lot. Enjoy!

Be visible or vanish - the book Inger wrote with her colleague Simon Clews
