Haven’t had time to listen to the episodes yet, but had to comment on the Ursula LeGuin piece! What a fascinating, brilliantly witty take on the hero trope! Thanks for showing it to us.

I've used an app called playground AI to alter images and even create "stock" images.

I spent several minutes every day deleting spam emails, blocking bot Instagram followers, etc. Could AI do this for me? Of course. But it won't. AI will be generating the spam, and we'll be deleting it. The Luddites were right. Like every invention that was supposed to give us more leisure time, AI will be used to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
