About this listen
From AI joke failures to family cabin memories, we traverse the landscape of modern technology while exploring the deeply human experiences that technology can never fully replicate.
• AI struggles with humor and poetry despite its impressive language capabilities
• The "Waymo sandwich" phenomenon reveals the limitations of self-driving cars in complex social situations
• Driving styles across different regions reflect cultural adaptations and collaborative social behavior
• The family cabin purchased in 1949/1950 represents generational connections and simpler pleasures
• A thermostat malfunction that turned the cabin into a 140-degree sauna created both damage and perfectly toasted marshmallows
• Large language models consume disproportionate amounts of energy compared to the human brain
• Neural networks should potentially be treated as public utilities similar to libraries
• German immigrant ancestors came to Wisconsin after the Civil War, escaping European militarism
