Greetings! Welcome back to Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by LSM Associate Producer Ben Smith and Lockmort of Lockmort's Edits on our YouTube channel. We start today's podcast off with a basic topic that spawns a substantial back-and-forth: Shoes. Are they important to us, style and/or function? What are our favorite brands? And so on. We then veer into more serious territory, as Lockmort gives us the rundown on a gallbladder-related situation that saw him visiting the ER multiple times. Have we ever experienced any unexpected medical catastrophes? Ben wants to chat (pun intended) about so-called internet friends, the people we've met -- and perhaps only know -- online. How much of our social life is consumed by a new style of camaraderie? Finally, Colin wants to discuss a recent claim out of American company OpenAI: That something is going on behind the scenes there with its Q-Star AGI program that may threaten humanity. Or so says a Reuters report. But what does that even mean? We get into it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
