This (sometimes weekly*) podcast delivers an hour-long conversation about their thoroughly middle-of-the-road adventures with AI. No PhDs. No Silicon Valley insights. Just two guys with enough technical knowledge to be dangerous, sharing their unexceptional yet entertaining experiences with AI tools and technology. Subscribe now to hear: • Mediocre hot takes on AI developments • Stories of AI experiments gone adequately okay • The most average advice you'll ever need • Two Sharkeys trying their best to sound smart about algorithms • Childish AI prank calls that somehow fool everybody • Attempts at using AI for phishing attacks on their mother • \"Chart-topping\" AI songs according to the brothers Join our perfectly mediocre community where being average at AI is celebrated, questions are encouraged, and learning through mistakes is our specialty. Because let's face it - most of us are figuring this out as we go along. New episodes drop whenever we remember to record them. 🎙️ Proudly supported by Simtheory.…","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/this-day-in-ai-podcast"},"episode":{"title":"Is GPT-5.5 Better Than Opus Now?
