We roast the lazy corporate use of AI—from terrible automated meeting recaps to unsolicited "improved" thumbnails that magically add fake tool walls to our shops. Plus, we discuss a $10,000 Roomba-style air purifier, the great AI data center RAM shortage that is turning PC building outrageously expensive, and Zac’s secret to recording voiceovers: giving a private TED Talk in your office.
