601: The thing that makes us human

Giant Robots Smashing Into Other Giant Robots

Show Notes

Chad and Will examine the ever expanding AI bubble and ponder on what we can expect it to see evolve in the coming years.

Our hosts discuss how they strike a balance with AI as they break down their current stacks and workflows, what will be left in the wake of the bubble’s collapse, and just where do Chad and Will draw the line with AI as they debate the ethics around it’s use.
