    Nikki is back from fall break and still tired. We have Tres Wittum on the show - a fascinating conversation about Digital Personhood, Algorithmic Transparency, and Universal Basic Data Income. We talk to the influencer economy, how everyone is a digital creator and how we should be compensated as such. We also talk about AI and superintelligence. Tres is also the founder of The Music City Creators Guild is a Nashville-based advocacy group for music, film, TV, and independent creators — songwriters, artists, filmmakers, podcasters, and the small creators who make up most of the industry. A fascinating conversation!
