And the Oscar goes to... AI
It turns out that creative tasks are *not* immune to the robot takeover. Meta AI researchers have created a new AI that can generate video content on the fly from a simple text prompt.

Customer Reviews
Like being back in the classroom with Professor Canetti
This was always my favorite part of class now now get to relive it!
Great for non tech people too!
I’m not a “tech person” or an MBA but I find this podcast to be so engaging and interesting! Professor Canetti explains the news in a way that I can understand and really connect how the tech industry impacts our lives. He also cracks me up! I highly recommend this podcast for techies and non techies alike.
Great content to impress friends at dinner parties!
Excellent quality content distilled in an engaging, digestible way. Goes through topics you probably have heard of, but haven’t had the time to dissect. Great to impress friends!
