Bros, do not send hate mail, but we do not believe your claims.David produces the newsletter Pivot to AI, which is now also available as a video essay or podcast.In this episode we discuss the AI economy, what happens when chatbots are left to run a business or even given their own social network, why robots want your body, the addictive nature of chatbots — and of course we simply had to talk about Elon Musk, SpaceX, xAI, and data centres in space.Full podcast details and credits:https://the9pmedict.com/edict/00263/Please consider supporting the podcast:https://the9pmedict.com/tip/https://skank.com.au/subscribe/
