Anthropic Warning & Lakers James Worthy

About this episode

Tim Conway discusses Hollywood layoffs, the impact of artificial intelligence, and shares a heartfelt story involving James Worthy.

 Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 4 (6.10)    Podcast Description:    Conway kicks off the hour with the best of  CVS Pharmacy  — where yin meets yang, Burnett meets vodka, gonorrhea meets goodbye, and herpes apparently gets a sliding scale. It is pharmacy talk, Conway-style, and somehow it all makes perfect sense.  Then the show turns to Hollywood, where  Quixote Studios  is laying off around 70 employees and winding down much of its soundstage business in Los Angeles and Atlanta. With film and TV production still struggling, one of the major production-services vendors is restructuring and shifting focus to stronger markets.  Later, Conway dives into the growing fear around  artificial intelligence . AI is no longer just following instructions — it can find mistakes, rewrite code, improve workflows, and help optimize future systems.
