Andy and Michael R get this episode started with all things AI.  First, Michael shares his experiences with training an AI (see image below).  Next up, the pair consider Krafton’s virtual human Ana with her ‘Shine Bright’ video.  

Then the co-hosts take a look at a recreation of the Jurassic Park T. Rex breakout scene made with a PlayStation and Dreams.  Quite an incredible piece of work, and extremely faithful to the original movie scene.  Sticking with the AI theme of this episode, the pair consider ‘The Follower’ with the AI using open cameras to find video of people taking instagram photos.  

Then, Michael and Andy turn to the (smaller) screen and MacStories’ thorough review of iOS 16, and all of the new capabilities it affords those in the Apple ecosystem.  Check out the details on notifications, lock screen enhancements, shortcuts and much, much more.  @mattcassinelli shares how @macaulay_flower uses iOS 16’s background removal feature to curate an outfit history – check out the show notes below to see.  

The co-hosts wrap things up with a funny tweet from Ian Bogost, and a cool kickstarter for Book Wyrm dice.
