Are You Dead? AI Apps, Autopsies, and Storage Problems
from The ProBoh Show · host Rob Grams
In the first part of today's show, we looked at the unexpected rise of the “Are You Dead?” app — a tool designed for people living alone that has suddenly surged to number one in China. Then we talked about a new trend in tech research: biologists approaching large language models as if they were performing an alien autopsy, trying to dissect and understand how these systems really work. Today's unpopular opinion was: Hiring storage units is a symptom of a problem. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name something people put into storage.
