Welcome back to The FAIK Files! When tech gets weird, we're here to help make sense of it all.


This week, we’re tackling:

  • DeepSeek -- the little LLM from China that's taking the world by storm.
  • Perry & Mason interview voice artist Keith Brown to see what he learned about AI while narrating Perry's book.
  • And our AI dumpster fire of the week doesn't disappoint!
