Episode 255 - AI Everywhere, Intelligence Optional

AI is becoming impossible to ignore—but using it and using it well are two very different things. In episode 255 of Blurring the Lines, Adam and Peter talk about the growing pressure for businesses to adopt AI, the frustration of customer-service bots that can’t actually solve problems, better ways to communicate with LLMs, and the flood of formulaic “AI slop” online. Along the way, Adam recaps The 20’s Vision conference and the idea that a rising tide can lift an entire industry, Peter discovers that his air purifier spent two years filtering air through plastic-wrapped filters, and the guys compare old-school Roombas with today’s increasingly disposable technology. They wrap things up by breaking down what the S&P 500 number actually means—and why that mysterious “divisor” makes the whole index work. AI, bad robots, Texas heat, stock-market math, and an air purifier that never had a chance. Just another episode of Blurring the Lines.
