Episode #201: Robot Rock

The world still isn't sure what to do with (or ABOUT) AI. On the one hand, you have breathless tech bros sinking trillions into "innovations" they swear will revolutionize the world, even as the coffers drain and the oceans boil from the power consumption. On the other, you have everyday folks wondering when the droids are gonna take our jobs, and if so, will we be able to get a little UBI for the trouble. And on yet a third hand, we have like seven or eight fingers. So nobody's really sure what's going to happen. At least in the meantime, we have some cool toys to play with! And on this episode, that's exactly what Saint and Jim get up to. SUNO is an AI music generator with the capability to create fully produced songs in any style, and about any subject, just based on a text description. They've played with it a bit on previous installments. But this time out, they decided to drop some impromptu prompts into it, and react to the results in real time. And like most things AI, the results are equal parts cool, fascinating, terrifying and a little unethical. But what the hell? It's the future. PLUS: Diddy, or didn't he?
