Marcus and Rami: Figuring Things Out1 Dec 2023

EP223: A Tech Thanksgiving, Humane AI pin, and our Spotify Wrap

We dive into autumn fashion with a twist. I'm all about those cozy knits, while Marcus has a hilarious obsession with Barber jackets – seriously, is he angling for a sponsorship or what?

We then riff on Thanksgiving, dubbing it the 'midday pint' of holidays – it's fun, but leaves you hanging. As for Christmas? We’re both amused by the sudden switch from turkeys to tinsel.

Our chat turns to New Year's resolutions, where I'm proudly journaling away and Marcus, ever the skeptic, pokes fun at the whole idea. It's a friendly debate that takes us down some unexpected paths.

Then things get really interesting as we tackle the wild world of AI. We're both fascinated and a bit freaked out by the latest developments at OpenAI. Q-Star? Sounds like a sci-fi movie, but it's real, and we're here for it.

We speculate about AI becoming our new best friend – or is it just another social media trap? And then there's the Humane Pin and Tesla's Cybertruck. We’re half expecting them to transform into robots any day now.

We wrap up with a promise to revisit our yearly predictions – let's just say some of our guesses were more 'out there' than Elon Musk’s tweets. Tune in for a blend of laughter, wild guesses, and tech talk – it's quite the ride!
