Headlines: Welcome to the Machine
Tim and Mary take on a news cycle that pauses just long enough to acknowledge the rabbit hole of Big Tech. This has to be the case, because so much of what we do and see and hear is undergirded by this infrastructure, which has been building for 100 years. It's so...

Headlines: Generated, or Regenerated?
Today Tim and Mary look at a few pre-Thanksgiving, non-Ai generated headlines as we talk turkey about several things. First up is the chart-topping Christian song sung in the key of Ai. Should the regenerated sing what is artificially generated? And what about...
Paul Scharf: Through Many Dangers, Toils, and Snares

Mary Danielsen: What’s it Worth to Ya?

Dr. Chris Rupe: Apes on Parade
