There is a saying that a man that cannot settle on a single idea means it isn’t a good one. Now, I don’t know if anyone actually said that, but I did. So, I guess it counts. Yes, I have slightly changed things again. This is a news headline episode. As I tried before, I ditched the deep dives because its hard doing it for a podcast like this. There is only so much you can do in pop culture, tech, and gaming before you sound like you’re phoning it in. Does that mean it won’t change in the future? If you know me, not necessarily. Zuck really wants you to want AI seemed like the best place to start.

Normally, I would like to keep these episodes to around thirty-ish minutes. Unfortunately this week, Zuck did his AI rant, Google announced their Pixel 11 devices, and Meta suffered a court setback. They were pretty deep in news within it. If my voice sounds like it’s going out during the episode, it definitely was.

The news episodes will return to a weekly release date and moving it to Mondays. Like it was before. Plus, I will be focusing on news that doesn’t involve AI or AI companies. You can get that news anywhere, so no need for me to cover it like the crypto and NFT days of old.

I’m sure you are asking (or maybe you aren’t, IDK) what about my episodes with Adam? They are still coming on a bi-weekly basis. Those episodes will be additional released starting next week. They will be released on Fridays. Next week, you will receive two episodes in a week, while the week after you will see only one. I have, also, revised the Patreon tier, but I mention more about that later.

Again, a gentle reminder that I have uploaded these audio only episodes on our YouTube channel. They will be released a day after the Apple Podcast/Spotify releases. Meaning the YouTube version will not be available until Tuesday, while the bi-weekly episodes will drop on Saturday. Enjoy Zuck Wants You to Really Want AI. We will see you next week.
