This week, Marques and Andrew sit down with Hasan Minhaj! They discuss everything from fantasy basketball to whether or not artificial intelligence can create art. There are a lot of upsides to new technologies, but there are also some serious negative aspects of technology that are worth discussing (hence this 2-hour long conversation). Despite all the downsides, Marques sheds some light on how he thinks about technology and continues to stay optimistic about the future.
