In today’s second hour, we are happy to welcome Emily Mills, a local independent writer and journalist. Lately, in addition to their own blog, they’ve been writing for The Recombobulation Area. Their latest column focuses on the dangers of artificial intelligence, but from a different angle than we typically hear. While fears that AI will harm humanity are not necessarily unfounded, it is likely farther away than many people believe. Meanwhile, this technology is already harming our environment in Wisconsin and around the world due to extreme power consumption. Visit www.therecombobulationarea.news and grist-from-the-mills.ghost.io to read more of Emily’s work! 

At the bottom of the hour, Todd asks us What’s Worse: fads or dumb traditions?
