- I have seen both of these movies (and full disclosure, I was interviewed for the first one), and Emily is spot on as usual. "The AI Doc" is manipulative, shallow, and shockingly bad.
- Though to be honest, I wasn't all *that* shocked by how bad it was, given what I heard the director say the day before I saw it.
- I spoke with @manjaselva.bsky.social at @marsdd.bsky.social about why Silicon Valley billionaires think technology is the answer to all of humanity's problems, and why they're wrong. You can listen to our conversation here: solveforx.simplecast.com/episodes/inf...
- This is one of several dozen podcasts I've been on in the past few months, and I'll be posting more of them here eventually. But I'm working on something big rn, and that's eating most of my time. More soon...
- Tomorrow at @oaklibrary.bsky.social! This one will be fun. There's no better way to make a libertarian cry than to go to your local public library. See you there!
