    S2E46: We Tried to Understand AI and Cryptocurrency…with Nancy

    Nancy joins the show as the group attempts to wrap their heads around two of the most confusing and talked-about topics today: artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency. Coming at it from the perspective of people who don’t claim to be experts, the conversation is full of honest questions, skepticism, and plenty of moments where things make less sense the more they’re explained. From wondering what AI actually can and can’t do, to trying to figure out why cryptocurrency exists at all, it’s a relatable, funny, and sometimes frustrating attempt to understand technologies that everyone talks about but few people truly understand.  Just a heads up, the audio in the first 10 or so mins is a little less than perfect, someone forgot to turn on the recorder (Dan) and we had to use the back up.  Send us Fan Mail Support the show Episodes available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BetweenTheStates Follow us on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Between-The-States/61574045351917/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/betweenthestatespod/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@betweenthestates BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/betweenthestates.bsky.social Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/BetweenTheStates/ Comments, questions, or suggestions can be sent to: Podcast@BetweenTheStates.com Best way to support the show: https://www.patreon.com/BetweentheStates
