Get ready to have your mind blown as we probe the dizzying advancements in AI and technology, from Chat GPT's latest voice capabilities to Elon Musk's audacious Neuralink project. We guarantee you'll be left in awe and terrified by the implications of these innovations. Chat GPT, pushing the limits of what voice assistants can do, is giving Amazon and Google a run for their money, while Neuralink is trialing brain implants that may change life as we know it. There's more to it, and our resident medical technologist, James Riddle, shares his insights.

This episode isn't all about AI and tech, though. We also focus on the evolving gaming industry and the gritty battle actors are waging for fair wages and protection from exploitative AI use. The drama continues as we peel back the layers of Getty Images' strategic approach to the threats and opportunities posed by AI within their business realm. They're not just sitting back; they're partnering with California Tech Company and Chipmaker NVIDIA to launch their AI image generator. Are you intrigued yet?

Lastly, we ease back from the tech world to celebrate Lumberjack Day, indulging in the sublime taste of Old Forrester 100 Proof Signature Bottle. We dive into the story of its founder, George Galvin Brown. So join us for this gripping conversation on technology, laced with a dash of whiskey and served for the everyday person.
