Peter and Scott start off on a roll until Scott has to inform Peter about who exactly Andrew Huberman really is, but it’s all uphill from there. Until the conversation about disinformation and gullibility. But there’s browsers, computer setups, and Furiosa!

Episode 69 – Force Fed a Can of Blueberry Badness

Peter is back, and this is good news for Scott! This time Peter is not AI, but for some reason he and Scott talk nonstop about AI anyway. Tools, workflows, valid concerns vs. boogeyman concerns. Also blueberry poison.
