    E066: Are AI “actors” a great innovation or the death of art?

    Is Tilly Norwood - the AI "actor" - a good thing for Hollywood, or does it herald the end of all human creativity and the death of art itself? Just a quick little debate we have this episode in reaction to a TikTok discussing the latest AI news out of California.

    E065: Grok’s Gross Graphics, Meta’s Massive Mistake, and more news

    It's a news roundup where we look at four stories from recent tech news, including Elon Musk's favorite LLM Grok going full-pedo recently, Mark Zuckerburg's $70 Billion oopsie, and Google realizing maybe it shouldn't let an AI hallucinate about health-related queries. And there's a robot that can kinda sorta almost do your laundry. Rosie the Robot it is not.

    E063: Subscriptions everywhere! Can SaaS be good? Or always risky?

    Why is everything a subscription these days? TV, movies, books, music - you don't seem to own anything anymore. This week we dig into the history of how the industry evolved into the SaaS model and how that bled into the consumer world turning everything into a rental. The post E063: Subscriptions everywhere! Can SaaS be good? Or always risky? first appeared on Acceptance Criteria.

    E062: AI’s horrific hidden costs are slowly being revealed

    From layoffs to mental health crises, we are starting to get a clearer picture of the horrible impacts AI is having on all of us, and in this episode we continue to ask what the government and our society is going to do about it. Content Warning: this episode does discuss a few recent cases of suicide related AI chatbots, so skip ahead to 25:16 to avoid those topics.

  6. E061: Myths about the economy the AI Revolution is rejecting

    E061: Myths about the economy the AI Revolution is rejecting

    In Part 2 of our look back at the Industrial Revolution, we examine the impact on the economy and workers, discuss how economists at the time, even as far back as 1830, were justifying the scale of job losses, and comparing that to the impact AI is having today. It's part history, part future predictions, and all super fascinating and often troubling. And don't forget to go back and listen to Part 1 in last week's episode for the history and context of how massive a shift the Industrial Revolution was.

  7. E060: Urgent lessons from the Industrial Revolution about AI (no really)

    11/20/2025

    E060: Urgent lessons from the Industrial Revolution about AI (no really)

    No, you didn't misread that, we're doing a two-part history lesson on the radical earth-altering time period known as the Industrial Revolution, and what it can teach us about our modern day struggles with how AI could change the world again. I promise, it's actually super interesting, so come learn some history with us as we compare the steam engine, the advent of electricity and factory work, and today's breakneck pace of AI adoption.

  8. E059: Should Google NotebookLM Keep the Human in the Loop

    10/23/2025

    E059: Should Google NotebookLM Keep the Human in the Loop

    It's a product review episode! We take a look at the new Google NotebookLM AI studio that tries to help people synthesize data sources into digestible materials like videos, podcasts, flashcards, and more. But the conversation quickly (and unsurprisingly) devolves into a debate over whether humans need to remain in the loop with tools like this and how the current generation of GenAI seems to be attempting to replace us rather than help us.
