Hi, hi! In case anyone is wondering, my concussion still hurts, Love Island USA is still good, and I’m still thinking about the implications of AI on our society every chance I get. That’s why I’m so excited for this week’s episode; I had my mentor on for a wonderful conversation around all things AI—the good, the bad, the ugly—and how it relates to grief.
