Sabrina Storey may have a single buckshot lodged somewhere in her brain. That’s the only way to explain her memory loss and dangerous sleepwalking episodes after surviving a horrific shooting at her college.

Away With Words: The Answer to the AI Puzzle

10/7/2019
If the Terminator or Westworld has taught us anything, it’s that we fail at time travel and cyborgs will always be so much cooler. But they also taught us that in all scenarios, people end up being pretty useless to a race of robots. So before Siri makes it to the 2020 election ballot, Kris shares some insight on the riddle of artificial intelligence. Make sure you’re wearing headphones so that AI folk like Alexa won’t hear this paradigm-destroying epiphany. --- Support this podcast:...

Away With Words: Onward and Awkward

9/23/2019
Well, this is going to be awkward. Kris just found the solution our stalled human evolution in the face of the apocalyptic progression of technology and our regression of our collective #intellectual development … and it’s more awkward and longwinded than this sentence. From crazy people at Target to the complete failure of handshakes, get ready … this will be awkward (yes, the paragraph started and ended with this statement. Awkward? Yes, used that word again). --- Support this podcast:...
