We open this week with a discussion about the matchmaking service It's Just Lunch and, following the news of Elon's upcoming Optimus humanoid army, why we'd rather have a twinkish C3PO-style robot. Bryan tells us about Grindr's newest AI "wingman" development to help users improve interactions on the app, suggest conversation starters, and even make dinner reservations. Erin updates us on former Under Secretary of the Air Force Gina Ortiz Jones' new Find Out PAC which is working to unseat anti-choice Texas Supreme Court Justices.
