Sep 17, 2023
48:52

Ever wondered why simple outings like a soccer game or a trip to the springs can be treasured in the memory vault forever? Join us as we reminisce about our little one's first soccer game and the unabated excitement for after-school activities. We share our dreams about her future tennis career, all while cooling off in the pristine waters of Weeki Wachee Spring. Join us as we relive the magic of the mermaid shows and the awe-inspiring wildlife. Switching gears, we scratch beneath the surface of Danny Masterson's conviction, the Scientology connection and the resultant media fallout. We cast a critical eye on Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, scrutinizing their decisions to write character letters for Masterson and their consequent resignation from their own charity, Thorn. The twist and turns of this tale raise questions about celebrity influence and the role of personal judgement. As we brace for the dawn of Google's conversational AI system- Gemini, we consider the profound repercussions it could have on our world. From the reality of deep faking voices to the creation of an all-encompassing knowledge library, the potential of Gemini is both fascinating and fearsome. Can it overstep its boundaries and override the kill switch? Does AI have the potential to take over Hollywood script-writing? Tune in and let's explore these compelling topics together.
