(44:03) Jeff’s Recommendation: My Old School Some people do things that make us go “wow, that doesn’t make sense; why in the world would they do that?” As it turns out, the answer can usually be summed up simply as “because money.” While there is a seemingly infinite set of examples where this “phenomon” occurrs, we only have time for a couple in this episode. Looking to sell intimate data on U.S. citizens that could easily lead to spying, blackmail, and other abuses? Why not, because money!

And while we at Nonsense believe these things will come, and are huge fans of watching them get there, we have realized that there are plenty of industries benefiting from AI today that don’t get nearly as much attention. In this episode, we discuss some of the industries that don’t get much air time but are already benefiting from AI. From education to agriculture to customer service - AI is already changing the landscape of how many sectors are operating today! But first, we’ve got new Kindles, a delicious new Android version, and superfluous X-rays that are likely harming you for no benefit at all. Buckle up, it’s another fast ride!

BBQ with Franklin (43:05) Jeff’s Recommendation: (senior) living their best life We are so happy to be back from our short fall break that this time we are taking a break from our usual roster of AI, trash, high-speed trains, or weather (kind of). In this episode, we are going to explore this little novel thing known as Climate Change. As it turns out, there’s one set of people that could single-handedly slow climate change, and do so faster than anyone else. No, it’s not the oil workers. It is not the private pilots of the world. It is someone you certainly know and know well. The answer might surprise you, you might not even want to hear it, but it’s a real path to slowing climate change right now.
