Show Notes
Riley & Lorenzo explore the wild world of Peacock comedy/drama Mrs. Davis, a show about a nun who has to fight a world-controlling AI program (we’re also excited to announce our new sponsors!). We do our best to connect this zany show to the ongoing developments in generative AI and predictive algorithms, plus speculate about what lessons we can learn from the development of the printing press that might apply to AI today.
