Our Unified Theor(ies) Of 2023
<p>We thought we’d jump back on mic and talk through the weirdness of 2023, our first year since COVID that we didn’t put out a podcast every week. Luke thinks 2023 feels weird because millennials are no longer relevant. Ryan thinks 2023 feels weird because the internet has reverted back to what it was like in 2010. Maybe both theories are correct! Or maybe it was some other third reason. Either way, we spend a lot of time arguing about TikTok.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Another Dispatch From Outside
<p>We’re back with another outside episode. We sat on a park bench and talked about Threads, NPC streamers on TikTok, and AI. Ryan also got chased by a wasp and a dog came by to say hi. Then we went and watched some cricket. A perfect summer afternoon. We’ll be back in a few months, probably. Bye bye!</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

A Dispatch From Outside
<p>Ryan was in London so we did a little recording session out in a park last week. We wanted to talk about something other than Twitter and AI, but, let’s be real. That’s all we talked about. Also, perhaps most importantly, Luke finally watched all of <em>Ted Lasso</em>. And he’s real pissed.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

We're Escaping The Content Mines
<p>Well, all good things must come to an end. Also, this podcast. At least for a while. We’re going on indefinite hiatus! So this will be our last episode for a while. Why is this happening? A combination of reasons, which we explain in excruciating detail in this episode. But the main thing is that we just don’t want to be a show where we talk about whatever’s happening on Twitter every day and it feels like that’s what we’ve been turning into. Oh, we also talk about the new <em>Avatar</em> movie for a while.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

An A.I. Wrote This Podcast
<p>This week we’re talking about ChatGPT, the text-based A.I. that everyone loves sharing screenshots of right now. We also go over the new viral hero of the UK, a man named Tom Skinner. And, finally, we cover the first drop of the #TwitterFiles, which is not really as exciting as Elon Musk seems to think it is? Oh, and, remember crypto? We’ve got some updates on the FTX collapse!</p><p>SHOW NOTES:</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/lauren_wilford/status/1600337819725365248">The YouTube comment about A.I. translation</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://embedded.substack.com/p/i-dont-care-what-the-ai-wrote?utm_source=substack&#38;utm_medium=email">The great </a><em>Embedded</em><a target="_blank" href="https://embedded.substack.com/p/i-dont-care-what-the-ai-wrote?utm_source=substack&#38;utm_medium=email"> piece about how boring text A.I. are</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/iamtomskinner">Tom Skinner’s incredible Twitter account</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.mollywhite.net/etc/ftx-contagion">The FTX contagion</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
