Frankly his newest album is even pretty great!

Absolute legend. Loved him since Sid & Nancy.

As we grapple with questions like “will we be able to tell if a book has been written by AI“, I think it’s very telling (& unfortunate) that the assumption is you can’t really trust what “the author” says b/c so many people have embraced lying as an acceptable part of life. Boo!

Newest The AmberMac Show: OpenAI's acquisition of the world’s most popular tech podcast, 100s of robotaxis freezing in China, & following Artemis II. Plus the astrophotographer whose photos are in Project Hail Mary & Peter MacLeod, co-author of Democracy’s Second Act. ambermac.com/the-ambermac...

In 37 years, Vulcans will set foot on Earth. More importantly, the Phoenix will be the first human ship to reach Warp 1!
