Can the Hot AI Robits Be a Bit More Beguilingly Sad? (CIB #257)
Description
We plow through the news that caught our attention this week and wonder about a future that promises to feed our eyeballs with images and information that we know cannot be relied upon to contain any truth value. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it by joining the conversation on our Substack or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
