Then, Don Lemon is back in the news. His deal with X was cancelled after an interview with Elon Musk went awry. Now, Don is going back to his old employers claiming free speech violations.

Next, we get into the "Battle Of The Ages". Taylor Lorenz and Libs of TikTok meet up in person for a battle that will live in internet infamy for all of eternity. Ok maybe not (it's just them sitting at a cafe). We get into why Taylor Lorenz is the undisputed champion of internet battles. Next story involves a family feud which involves a female influencer and her Bitcoin shirt wearing father. Finally, we wrap with the continued liberal vibe shift of the post-C*vid era.

Google A.I. Has A Problem & Taylor Swift and Joe Biden’s Secret Plans Feb 23, 2024

Show notes

EPISODE #39: Welcome back to the pod! This week, we get right into the absolute insanity of Google’s Gemini A.I. Image Generator. Twitter erupted in activity earlier this week when people were using the AI, only to find that it was nearly impossible to generate a white person (despite historical inaccuracies.) We get into all of the hilariously absurd examples. Next up, what do Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, and Joe Biden all have in common? Well clearly it’s their attempt to take over the election this year! (but also.. probably not.) We get in to the conspiracy of it all. Finally, Sanjana breaks down her piece on how a local government successfully ended homeless camps. Another fun one! Hope you enjoy!
