AI
We’re joined by noted video game developer, AI programmer and Noah’s brother David Kalina to discuss AI and why some of us like it while others of us don’t like it.
prompt: realistic photograph, three podcasters with crazy hair and medium-short beards, excited and terrified while trapped inside a stylized neural network or an AI brain, interconnected nodes with glowing lines or edges, representing the flow of data and information within the network, using a chromatic spectrum of rainbow colors
Communication
realistic photograph, two bearded podcasters with crazy hair, holding tin cans connected by a string, shouting into them like telephones
Stalman and Lisagor on AI
We took a week off, but here’s a rebroadcast from Tyler Stalman’s show “Stalman Podcast” with Adam as his guest, talking all about AI. It’s not funny, but you should listen to the whole thing twice.

NFT
What the hell is an NFT? And how should you feel about them? We’re going to tell you today, with the help of our artist-curator-technologist friend Justin Ouellette and a visit from Fanuel Leul, an Afrofuturist artist whose work we each acquired for our own NFT collections. Join us on the blockchain because this one is going straight to the moon.
Apple iPhone
On today’s show, we’ll unbox the iPhone from Apple. This upgrade is the most advanced pro camera system ever on iPhone; Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion; A15 Bionic, and so much more. We really think you’re going to love this episode, and we can’t wait to see what you [pbbbt]
Withings
You know what they say about the unexamined life? Just, like, examine it, bro. And there’s a company called Withings that makes a line of smart devices to examine your life by way of your body. They sent us some stuff to examine our bodies so that we could have better lives, and you know what? It just might work.
OluKai Bose
OluKai is high-quality footwear brand with incredibly comfortable sandals and slippers, so you can live aloha on your feet. Bose Frames are surprisingly stylish sunglasses that augment your world with a layer of crisp, immersive sound. What do these two things have in common? I’m on vacation, you guys.
Parlo
Writing is a technology. Using a pen’s been around for longer than most of us have been alive. And yet, the pen is flat and pretty basic. That’s why we’re here to talk about the Parlo pen, a new twist on a very old idea. Measuring in at 10 inches uncapped and about half that in writing position, it’s a slim, lightweight pen that’s precisely focused on its purpose. What does it do? Disappoint you. [NOTE: This intro was written by an AI called Sudowrite, one of three writing tools we review on today’s show, along with Rocketbook and Freewrite.]
