The best thing about the podcast is how Michael Sandel, summarises and pushed the arguments on without any delay.
I am enjoying listing to podcasts again now I am commuting once more.

Another really interesting listen from @jeremycherfas I alway am amazed at how a food stuff becomes embedded in a culture.
Wallace Stephens or Bot
I’ve read a few AI things recently. I can’t say I’ve got my head round it. A few bookmarks:
Donald Clark Plan B: GPT-3 is like looking into the future What a time to be living.
I couldn’t tell the difference between Wallace Stephens and a bot. Interestingly my wife could, she pointed out that reading out loud made the human poet easier to pick.
Not just words: Let’s talk about that GPT-3 AI tweet that shook designers to the core
