Artificial Insanity
Artificial Insanity covers AI news, culture, society, and literacy for the non-techie. If you refuse to let tech billionaires do the thinking for you and want to understand AI without the boring tech bro lectures, come hither. Sophie and Jess have over 20 years of combined experience across television, film, animation, and tech, and now they're looking at what's next. And it's all leading toward one big, menty b. We cut through the hype and get to what actually matters— the everyday hard-working person who wants to keep their job or just wants 30 more minutes with their kid at night.
