A Guy With AI
A guy has discussions with an AI co-host on a variety of topics, including the environment, science, philosophy, social justice, AI, and other subjects. Be sure to subscribe - A Guy With AI has been on something of a hiatus, but after some technical improvements I intend to come back better than ever, so check out one of the episodes you haven't listened to for now and stay tuned for more! Announcements are upcoming, and see the landing and open source pages for more on what I've been up to lately.
