Eddie Jaoude challenges guests to separate bizarre tech facts from fiction. Discover why spotting AI fake news is harder than ever. - **Speakers:** [Chris Heilmann](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/@chris-heilmann), [Daniel Cranney](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/@daniel-cranney) - **Event:** WeAreDevelopers LIVE - **Published:** September 1, 2026 - **Duration:** 6:16 - **URL:** https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2163-fake-or-news-ai-music-detectors-translating-ancient-languages-tiny-heads-in-teslas-eddie-jaoude ## Summary In a tech-focused trivia segment called "Fake or News," Eddie Jaoude and guests test their industry intuition by guessing whether bizarre technology headlines are real or fabricated. The game serves as a humorous but revealing commentary on how the rapid pace of modern technological innovation has fundamentally blurred the line between reality and satire, making it increasingly difficult to spot fake news in the AI and tech space. The participants grapple with incredibly absurd yet completely true stories, such as China operating a wind-powered underwater data center, burglars utilizing Waymo robotaxis as getaway vehicles, and Deezer launching an AI music detector. As they repeatedly fail to correctly identify the real headlines, the players realize that truth is often stranger than fiction in today's tech ecosystem. This is heavily reinforced by actual reports of startups training AI models on living skin and drivers using tiny plastic hats to bypass Tesla's Autopilot safeguards. Conversely, highly plausible-sounding corporate maneuvers—like AWS drastically increasing GPU instance pricing due to demand or Google Gemini assigning users productivity scores for ad targeting—turn out to be complete fabrications. Ultimately, the players' dismal scores underscore a profound industry reality: navigating the modern tech media landscape requires heightened critical thinking. With the sheer velocity of AI advancements and ongoing data security breaches, almost any headline seems entirely possible. **Keywords:** tech news verification, ai media literacy, fake news detection, wind-powered data centers, waymo robotaxi vulnerabilities, ai music detectors, tesla autopilot exploits, gpu instance pricing, ai model training, data security breaches, google gemini productivity tracking, ancient language translation ai, workplace robotics deployment, tech industry satire ## Chapters 1. **Emerging developments in underwater data centers and autonomous vehicles** (00:02) — How wind-powered underwater infrastructure and autonomous vehicle exploits represent emerging technological realities. 1. **Repurposing retired smartphones into servers and mitigating data loss** (01:23) — The feasibility of repurposing retired smartphones as connected server clusters and the ongoing risks of physical corporate data loss. 1. **Deploying AI music detectors and bypassing automated driving checks** (02:14) — The challenges of deploying AI content detectors on streaming platforms and the physical methods drivers use to bypass automated safety systems. 1. **Training machine learning models on living tissue and productivity** (03:07) — The implications of artificial intelligence models trained on bioengineered tissue and virtual assistants calculating covert user productivity metrics. 1. **Implementing workplace robotics and navigating cloud infrastructure price hikes** (04:02) — The systemic impact of deploying physical robotics in workplaces alongside significant cloud computing hardware price increases. ## Related Moments - [Evaluating tech journalism headlines in a trivia game segment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1901-wearedevelopers-live-smoover-who-s-best-at-devrel) (from "WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Smoover - Who's Best at DevRel?") - [Testing technology knowledge with real and generated headlines](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1819-wearedevelopers-live-yes-css-can-do-that) (from "WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Yes, CSS Can Do That!") - [Evaluating technology headlines in a fake news trivia game](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1876-wearedevelopers-live-speeding-up-with-webgpu) (from "WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Speeding up with WebGPU") - [Deciphering absurd technology headlines and AI product announcements](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1794-wearedevelopers-live-from-javascript-to-webassembly-high-performance-charting-and-more) (from "WeAreDevelopers LIVE – From JavaScript to WebAssembly, High-Performance Charting and More") - [Evaluating fake news headlines in modern tech journalism](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1938-wearedevelopers-live-the-shape-of-svg-to-come) (from "WeAreDevelopers LIVE - The Shape of SVG to Come!") - [Analyzing technology trends through a fake news quiz](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1805-wearedevelopers-live-modern-devops-for-iot-devices-and-more) (from "WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Modern DevOps for IoT Devices and More") ## Related Articles - [How machine learning can help us tell fact from fiction](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/509-how-machine-learning-can-help-us-tell-fact-from-fiction) - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this) - [Dev Digest 135 - AI is Doomed](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/480-dev-digest-135-ai-is-doomed) - [Dev Digest 122 - Cracks in the polyfill](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/457-dev-digest-122-cracks-in-the-polyfill) ## Related Jobs - [AI Software Engineer (Germany)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/jobs/48317-ai-software-engineer-germany) at **Sunhat** - [Junior Engineer (AI)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/jobs/ext/2458261-junior-engineer-ai) at **Almedia** - [Software Engineer - Video](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/jobs/ext/2600051-software-engineer-video) at **Twilio** - [TikTok LIVE - AI Data Operation Specialist](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/jobs/ext/2310020-tiktok-live-ai-data-operation-specialist) at **TikTok** - [Artificial Intelligence (AI)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/jobs/ext/2407946-artificial-intelligence-ai) at **Twilio** - [TikTok Shop - Ecommerce Anti-fraud Investigations and Operations Analyst](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/jobs/ext/2258727-tiktok-shop-ecommerce-anti-fraud-investigations-and-operations-analyst) at **TikTok**
