Kai Why size really matters when abundance is the new scarce?
Sandra What the chicken wars were all about?
Kai What would happen if we let an AI write our trailer script?
Sandra Actually, yes, what would happen?
Kai Well, let's see.
Sandra We told the AI GPT-2 that we welcome you to Season 7 of The Future, This Week podcast.
Kai And here's what it had us say.
Sandra Long time listeners will notice that the future in Season 6 didn't exactly happen. We missed it and we are working hard to rectify the situation. Where do we stand?
Kai Duh, it's the third time this season that the future is broken. And like I said before, the future just looks very bleak. So we should be good for some giggles, right?
Sandra A podcast with a giant connector.
Kai Get those Twitter followers before they get you.
Sandra Okay. We better do this ourselves.
Outro The Future This Week is our weekly podcast where I, Sandra Peter, and I, Kai Riemer, sit down to rethink and unlearn trends in technology and business. We discuss the news of the week, question what is obvious, put our own spin on the world, and we talk to some amazing guests: technologists, and movers and shakers.
