All 5 of us are back! Jensen leads us as we catch up, and we discuss two thought provoking topics: Does AI have a place in the Hobby? What is that place and why is there so much AI Slop out there?
Also, what is your Leaning Tower of Pisa? A model that you know is flawed but you finished it anyway and lived with it as less than perfect?
