Catching Foxes
Luke and Gomer
Luke and Gomer became friends Freshman year at the Franciscan University of Steubenville and 14 years later they started a podcast. The show oscillates between a conversation between just the two of us and interviews that we do together of other, fancier people. Sometimes we get explicit either by being too honest or by being too stupid. Either way, it's fun!

AI Can't Help You Contemplate the Good Life
AI has plenty of potential upsides. Helping you think more deeply about life isn't one of them. Maybe, if done wrong, it helps us fulfill our worst desires.
Will AI reduce us to simply our desires? Can it free up time in our lives to contemplate the truth?
Also, there's a lengthy discussion about sex with robots towards the end. It's topical, we promise, but maybe don't listen to this one with your kids. Maybe don't listen to any Catching Foxes episodes with your kids.

Is Using AI a Mortal Sin?
The usage of AI has moral implications, but what are they? Can we use it without losing our souls? Should we all just be listening to Bob Dylan and avoiding AI-generated music?
It's a heady one this week. Enjoy!Support Catching FoxesLinks:HumanalitySaint Kolbe Studios — Thank you to Saint Kolbe Studios for producing this episode!
