Episode 379: Aipocalypse Now

On this week's show, we share a couple of our deepest spiritual awakenings, then rant for a while about our weird feelings on AI and LLMs. Then we manage to keep the mood lively with public comments about MTG's Universes Beyond. We're not glazing AI. Don't be mad at us.
