They’ll be advocating for their favorite libations while exploring current events and ancient history. Join us as we welcome the new year!
Air Date: - Season 4 - Episode 28 | Edwin takes on some unanswered—and still burning—questions. Almost every episode, we run out of time before we run out of questions. We save them, and these episodes give us a chance to address topics such as antisemitism, automation and AI, energy, eugenics, privacy, and more. He will also be accepting new questions via the Zoom Q&A. Join us for another no-holds-barred, nothing-off-the-table session.

Air Date: - Season 4 - Episode 25 | AI developers—who admit that they don't understand how their creations work—have already disregarded most precautions that would make the process and products safer.
