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.

I freaking love this idea — with iOS 16, this guy is saving clips of every outfit he wears in the Notes app 🤯

With background removal, you can cleanly categorize almost anything 👌 https://t.co/9fw5mtbFTG pic.twitter.com/5h20QlpuI9
Can’t believe my reaction to this is “You’re not the first, you monsters, this dumb shit was happening 20 years ago.” pic.twitter.com/lSzQwE2mgV
