In this week's bonus episode, friend of the show Brian Merchant joins Riley, Hussein, and Nate to discuss an ed-tech security firm selling digital hall passes for anti-vaping counterinsurgency. We also discuss Brian's writing about ways in which AI is supplanting professional roles in... education, but also in NCAA athletics training? With predictable results.
