Promise

We’ve largely steered clear of AI advancements in recent episodes, mostly because the news around them seems relentless. This episode though, we cover everything from generalist AI models for everyday robots, to AI-generated privacy masks, to the AI-powered robots that can build you anything, to our preference for AI-generated content. We’ve got it all.

We even get into a heated discussion about using AI for research and education. How is the education system working or failing, and where might AI fit into it?

All this and more, coming right up.
