Crack open an ice-cold Diet Mt. Dew after mowing the lawn and listen to the NEW episode of @KnowYrEnemyPod on Trump's VP pick J.D. Vance. We set out to answer the question: What's wrong with this guy? It's a good one, please share and spread the word

If someone finds a transcript of Elon Musk’s Trump campaign ad from last night, please let me know.
Won’t submit myself to listening to their ugly fascist killer clown voices.

Yes! https://t.co/A5H1kJOyUl

My new podcast comes out on Saturday. It *only* took a decade to research. It's got it all: AI, Maoists, Scientology, CIA, LSD, Rockefellers. And music by Brian Eno. Here's a teaser: the slightly underdressed Warren McCulloch, the father of neural networks, talks AI in 62.

Years ago QuickBooks let users upload receipts and then "AI" would identify the expense amount and category automatically. Sometimes it worked fast and sometimes it took hours.

It was actually just workers in the Philippines, and it took awhile sometimes because they were asleep
