Listen and follow “Hard Folk”
Apple | Spotify | Amazon | YouTube
This week, we look at the confusion within companies surrounding artificial intelligence. Stability AI announced that founder and CEO Emad Mostaque is leaving the company. Meanwhile, Microsoft fired Inflection's two co-founders and much of its staff without actually acquiring the company itself. Both moves surprised technology officials. Next, we discussed with listeners who had something to say about our interview with Jonathan Haidt about smartphones, social media, and young people. And finally, we examine the real motives behind the artificial intelligence-generated “Shrimp Jesus” and other images that are wildly popular on social media.
