Happy New Year!
In this episode, Andy and Michael M get together to reflect upon 2022 and prepare for 2023. First, the co-hosts touch on the very special audio episode of the behind the scenes BCS webinar, and Michael R’s drop in on #WeeksEnd. Then, they marvel on how far #AI has come in the past year. How might you know whether the show notes were written by the bot? Perhaps the multiple uses of the word the might be the clue. The the the the. Or maybe not. Seriously though, determining whether an AI wrote some text, generated an image, or composed a 3d model will likely become more and more difficult with the advances to be made in the coming 12 months. Interesting Engineering gives several amazing advances from 2022, among them, a way to 3d print wood.
Closing out for the last recoding of the year, and turning and eye to 2023, Andy and Michael discuss Robin Sloan’s writeup. It resonates strongly with them – to remain curious, to try new things and keep an open mind. A marvelous message to carry into the new year.
