Episode V: AI Strikes Back.

  It is a dark time for DDYH, as we find ourselves in a world run by deviously intelligent, possibly malevolent AI. Aliens call out, leave a voicemail, and no one listens to it. Birds can ride in coach on your next Etihad flight.   So start your car or grab a beer, (But don’t do both) and hang out with us, just like the Worcester bellringer who got his bell rung.    Dave is drinking Ballast Point’s Tongue Buckler Imperial Red Ale and Andy is drinking Mother Earth’s Boo Koo IPA. We do our best to not get wasted by our 22 oz tasty beverages.    CHECK OUT FEBRUARY’S MIX TAPE IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY   Dude, Did Your Hear?   AI can now lie to your face, just like the kids who bailed on your high school science project.    The next time something gets stuck in your head, it may not be a song. It’s probably a cockroach. If you live in India.   Metallic Hydrogen. It’s no Ambimetic Polyalloy from Terminator 2, but it’ll get the job done. Why? Because interstellar travel made easy, that’s why.   Blue Jet Lightning. It shoots up to 30 miles in the air! Almost as high as people’s blood pressure in Facebook politics! Check it out.   The WOW! signal, 6EQUJ5 was caught by radio telescope on a narrowband frequency in August, 1977. Even 40 years later there’s still no confirmed explanation for its origin.   You want to bring 80 of your pet falcons on the plane with you? Sure! Just don’t let them get torn apart by Tom Brady.    UNU’s Swarm AI successfully predicted the Super Bowl score prior to the game. SPOILER ALERT! 34-28 Patriots. It’s been right about the Kentucky Derby and the last two Stanley Cup winners as well… and wrong on just about everything else.    We Recommend:   Losing hair? Andy has a solution for you.    The Life/After podcast from GE. Starting with "The Message." Available on iTunes.   SO YUMMY COCA-COLA PLUS! SO YUMMY! SO YUMMY! COCA-COLA PLUS!   Simon Sinek’s "Leaders Eat Last." You need to read it, or listen to it, or cheat off your friend who did when we give out the test.   UConn will destroy you. At least, their Women’s Basketball team will.    We Don’t Recommend:   Stealing from Salvation Army donation bins.    Scrolling through your phone near bedtime. Kiss that melatonin goodbye.   In Worcester a bellringer gets his bell rung.
