Episode 85 - I have a Robot Cat (Kind Of) Jaws designed a desk robot, I printed it and hot-glued it together, and it immediately drove off the table. Jaws fixed it in about 20 minutes, and then drove it.
Episode 84 - Are We Cooked? These tools are amazing, and they're getting better faster than we're ready for. I think we need an independent regulator who can look inside the labs. I know that sounds crazy.
Episode 83 - Let's Eat, Grandma I told an AI never to publish without me, but it was capable of publishing without me. I think you can see where this is going...
Episode 82 - Local Models for the win Spiel v2 is a native Mac app that can transcribe speech by running a model locally on a MacBook's Neural Engine. It's fast, it's free, and a good reminder that I don't always need a frontier model!
Episode 81 - How on earth do AI watermarks work? An AI watermark works by letting a secret function, not a random number generator, determine which word is selected from the words the model was already willing to say next.
Episode 80 - Two Types of Writing There are two ways to write with AI: it drafts and you edit, or you draft and it edits. Each path leaves different “watermarks” on the result, so pick one on purpose.

Episode 77 - The Incredible Shark Can a Shark (I mean AI) build a physics-based Rube Goldberg machine video game?
Episode 76 - Don’t Write Metadata Sorry for the clickbait title, but it turns out that Metadata might not matter as much as we think, or at least for the reasons we thought!
