| 4/27/23 | It's All Computers These Days | The world is shocked as an AI-made song is created by someone other than CJ and Jeff, and then gets pulled down after going viral. Meanwhile, the boys touch on the final (?) ruling keeping the Apple App Store closed, a promising path to regenerating lost hearing, a battery density breakthrough, OpenAI applying for a trademark on GPT, and lots more. They’ll dig deeper into Apple's new high-yield savings account and how already wobbly copyright laws completely fall apart in an AI world. And that Drake & The Weeknd song was for sure not from them, promise. Apple’s App Store can stay closed, but developers can link to outside payments, says appeals court Scientists May Have Figured Out How to Regenerate Lost Hearing World’s largest battery maker announces major breakthrough in energy density Chip designer Arm makes its own advanced prototype semiconductor Snapchat sees spike in 1-star reviews as users pan the ‘My AI’ feature, calling for its removal ‘GPT’ may be trademarked soon if OpenAI has its way History of copyright - Wikiwand Copyright Timeline: A History of Copyright in the United States - Association of Research Libraries Who Owns a Song Created by A.I.? - The New York Times Generative AI Has an Intellectual Property Problem Amazon Removes Books From Kindle Paul McCartney Finally Regains Beatles Rights After Near 50-Year-Long Battle Apple Card’s new high-yield Savings account is now available, offering a 4.15 percent APY Goldman Sachs CEO happy with Apple relationship dating back to Steve Jobs' return The problem with Apple's big banking push Can Apple really help fix banking? | Financial Times | — | ||||||
| 4/20/23 | CJ's Five-Year-Old Buys Things off Silk Road | Jeff needs a Zyrtec, CJ tries to type a capital 7, and together they continue the quest to find a jellyfish willing to co-host this very show. Meanwhile, to pass the time, they discuss Montana's TikTok ban, Arkansas bill to keep minors off of social media, technological things they fear, and the newest, coolest tech that's caught their attention. It's the 100% episode! Exclusive: Inside the historic settlement talks between Fox News and Dominion This fake song from Drake and The Weeknd is AI-generated and scary good Over 2,000 Southwest flights delayed after temporary ground stop Actually, Charging Your Phone in a Public USB Port Is Fine Sega confirms it’s buying Angry Birds and pushing into mobile Jamie Dimon wasn’t kidding about his hatred of remote work Apple employees say they’ll quit over Tim Cook’s return-to-office push: ‘F–k RTO’ Map of the Donner Party Route The History of 'Ampersand' WGA Members Vote Overwhelmingly To Authorize A Strike If No Deal By May 1 Montana’s TikTok Ban Won’t Work Arkansas Makes It Illegal For Minors to Be on Social Media Without Parental Consent Utah's new social media law means children will need approval from parents Visualizing AS32934 (Facebook) BGP Outage Apple Lightning cables keep fraying?

| 4/13/23 | Dope Francis, Llamas, & The Great Pause | There’s just too much happening in the land of AI to not talk about it more this week, so …. we will. Everything from generating fantastic images of the pope in a puffer jacket, asking current large-language model AIs about mirrored text on glass doors, to exploring the notion of pausing the development of these mega-AIs - Episode 15 has a little bit of everything. And no odd-numbered episode of Nonsense would be complete without a grim update about US-China relations - spoiler alert: they are not getting better. The Open Letter to Stop 'Dangerous' AI Race Is a Huge Mess AI-Generated “Dope Francis” Fools the Internet How to open the gates The LLama Effect: How an Accidental Leak Sparked a Series of Impressive Open Source Alternatives to ChatGPT AirPods maker says Apple suppliers are rushing to get out of China faster than expected: ‘When can you move out?’ US Policy on Taiwan and the Perils of ‘Strategic Ambiguity’ Yann LeCun and Andrew Ng: Why the 6-month AI Pause is a Bad Idea Moravec's paradox - Wikiwand | — | ||||||
| 4/6/23 |  CornHub, Amazon’s $38bn Ad Business, & Artificial Intelli-vesting | Bet you didn’t know that Amazon is delivering $38bn of ads every year, further blurring the lines between advertising and marketing. We sure didn’t. The guys also explore what “investing” with AI could look like, the recent FCC rules trying to can text SPAM, phones that go boom, and Grandma’s Giant Knockers. We’d rather not put anything else in writing, you’ll just have to listen to the episode.

| 3/30/23 | Planes, Trains and Innovation | Since the start of the year we’ve covered air travel near-collisions and train derailments, which begs the question: “just how safe is travel these days?” This week the boys take a look at the safety of travel in the US, be it by plane, train, or automobile. Jeff also challenges cj in our first-ever running of the “Invention Inspiration Game”. We will also try to answer why both the FBI & Catholic Church are buying user data, and why you would want to map a fruitfly’s brain.

| 3/23/23 | ByteDancing in the Dark 💾💃 | We’ve seen several substantial AI drops in the past week alone, and while the boys can’t cover them all, they sure do try here in episode 12. But it’s not all AI this week, they do dig into lie detectors (their history, how they work, and how to defeat them) and the tremendous amount of data we are all shedding on the daily. And, of course, a little, tiny bit of aviation news. Just a little, we promise. “You can't start a fire without a spark, even if we're just bytedancing in the dark” ~ The Boss How to Tell if Someone Is Lying Former CIA Officer Will Teach You How to Spot a Lie l Digiday GPTs are GPTs: An Early Look at the Labor Market Impact Potential of Large Language Models | — | ||||||
| 3/16/23 | Banks Go Boom | Well, at least the past week has been interesting! Join the boys as they dive deep into the collapse of SVB and the UK Online Safety Bill. Spoiler alert: as it turns out, all the King’s men were able to put the bank back together again (sort of). Your fearless hosts also touch on US drone harassment over the Black Sea, lots of Sargassum, leaky Ring video, transient Tesla steering wheels, and other nonsensical headlines. It’s fun, you’ll laugh, maybe cry, and possibly gain even more esoteric knowledge!

| 3/9/23 | Floppy Disks & Daylight Savings Time Will Outlive Us All | Are you kept awake at night worrying that the myriad of systems in your day-to-day life depends upon floppy disks to function? Well, you will after this episode! And if that doesn’t warp your reality enough, the boys will talk about how all our realities could be altered permanently by Bold Glamour and other filters. Oh yeah, and Daylight Savings Time was initially penned by the guy on the hundo as a JOKE. So much to unpack; you’ll need a nice cup of extra hot tea after this episode!

| 3/1/23 | Emojis Go to Court 🚀📈💰 | So many things this week: more data breaches and near-misses on runways, and how Vespas don’t mix with AirPod Maxs. These two dig deeper into emojis finally getting their day in court, how sleeping more could extend your lifespan, and deep fakes at large and in politics! It’s a wild ride, but we promise you’ll learn something new.

| 2/15/23 | Planes, Brains, and Artificial Intelligence | Experts said it couldn’t be done, but somehow these two characters made it past six episodes. Hopefully science will one day be able to explain how such a feat was accomplished. Until then, catch up with CJ and Jeff on more A-words -- some bits of aviation & AI. Both on the tarmac in Texas, up in the Pacific Northwest in the largest building in the world, and from the comfort of Jeff’s Google Home.

| 2/8/23 | The Final Episode: CHIPS & Guac | In what has been predicted to be their last episode, CJ & Jeff provide a primer on AI, the advanced chips necessary to make AI a reality, the $270-billion dollar Dutch company that acts as a linchpin for the entire industry, and some guy named Morris Chang. This AI Explainer intends to provide an overview of artificial intelligence with key insights into some of the extremely interesting nuances of today’s modern chip manufacturing necessary to ultimately power complex AI systems like Siri & ChatGPT.

| 2/1/23 | Amazon Pooping Packages From the Sky | The boys talk about last-mile delivery via drones, how to fix the “Doomsday Clock,” logistics and opportunity behind really, really big airships, and what an economy could look like with even more automation & AI. They revisit (again!) even more novel uses of AI to explain “it” to a 5-year old, a judge, or even a home buyer. Some of this week's nonsense might even make sense – but no promises.
