This is the first episode I'm releasing only for paid members on our Patreon channel. In this episode Jim responds to news and opinion from AI skeptic pundits, notably Ed Zitron and Corey Doctorow, that the great tech revolution is a gaslighting bubble full of reverse centaurs. Lionel remains skeptical and we discuss the possibility that locally run small AI may be a path forward. Full episode at https://patreon.com/jiminfantino/
