Episode 281: My Brother's Experiment

Play Now!

Using computers that can more or (mostly) less function as if they were "intelligent" is all the rage today, especially in business. Why hire a person when a machine can do the job? Others are goofing around with these machines as well, including my own brother. I explore some of his recent goofs in this Episode 281: My Brother's Experiment.

In this episode, I read from: my brother's email correspondence, one of which was created by an ASoL; and a web log digest of my podcast, also ASoL-compiled.

Musically, I play: KMFDM backing both John Herrman in the introduction and Shoshana Zuboff in the show. I think that is the first time I've played the Herrman intro, even though I created it years ago. Neat! Julie & Rolf & The Campfire Gang play us out with "Over the Rainbow".

  1. I think your brother should learn an entirely new skill like candy making. Then he can truly be a fudgepacker. -bleak

    1. Instead of just acting like one, right?!
