#505 The Dark Side of AI, Nikki's Breakthrough & The Super Bowl Matchup

Nikki might not remember the title of the book she’s reading, but it’s already helping her in so many ways. Like, forcing herself to do something hard first thing in the morning has boosted her confidence for the rest of the day. Sean O'Connor is back, and Brian has a unique take on why social media is the worst. They all stan the latest SNL episode, dive into how AI is changing content creation, how loneliness is pushing people to seek validation from bots and why meditation works. Nikki’s totally over garbage TV, and after watching The Wizard of Oz this weekend, Sean's convinced it’s the ultimate example of storytelling. In the Final Thought, Nikki’s all about getting everyone to watch Sidewalks of NY, they review the teams that made it to the Super Bowl (and whether it was shady how they got there), and chat about the modern human condition.
