Geeks Squawk - EP 340

On today's show, the geeks talk about how Estonia wants to take DNA samples of its citizens under the guise of offering better lifestyle and healthcare advice. In Back To The Blackboard, they talk about their crowdfunding pick, the MILK app which comes off as an oxymoron. They also talk about a documentary which explores the rise of artificial intelligence and the potential perils of thinking machines.
