• A1 Art: How to Feed Your Prompt Like a Pro

  Image prompting isn’t just “describe it and pray”, it’s ordering a gourmet dish at a snobby robot diner.

• Dude, Where's My Job?

  AI isn’t just flirting with your job anymore, it’s taking it out to dinner and meeting its parents.

• GPT-4.1: All Hail the Lord of the Tokens!

  GPT-4.1 is here, and it’s not messing around. In this episode, Emily Laird breaks down why this model is smarter, faster, and hungrier than any AI we’ve seen before, able to process 1 million tokens in one go (yes, that’s your codebase and your therapist’s notes). With flavors like Mini, Nano, and Full Spicy (not really called that), GPT-4.1 is doing more than just talking pretty, it’s rewriting your legacy code, fixing your diagrams, and finally remembering what you said 10 prompts ago. Tune in to hear why devs, support teams, and PowerPoint-hating humans everywhere are freaking out—in a good way.

• AI’s Hot Girl Year (According to Stanford)

  AI isn’t some distant overlord plotting in a lab; it’s already writing your emails, diagnosing your cough, and maybe deciding your loan approval. In this episode, host Emily Laird tears into the 8th Edition of the Stanford AI Index Report to see what’s actually going on. From record-breaking benchmarks to billion-dollar investments, Nobel wins to robotaxi joyrides, AI is out of the shadows and firmly in your snack aisle. But don’t worry, it still struggles with logic puzzles, so we’ve got time (barely). Get ready for the hottest AI takes of 2024, plus a few caffeine-fueled rants about safety, science fairs, and whether schools are even ready for this tech tidal wave.
