Episode Details

Too long, Steve! Too long! How was that summary of China?

Some automation success! Getting closer to a better blog-writing workflow.

DaVinci title success! Chinese captions done and did completely within DaVinci! Still not a smooth workflow, but it’s something to start with.

A simple truth about AI: It’s a tool. If you like being a gear head, then ya, you’ll be cool. But it’s a tool like anything else. So, is it worth it to quit your job to pursue this? No. I don’t think so.

And how is Canada doing in the Olympics? Canada advances against South Korea in curling! Men beat Norway! What about women’s hockey??? USA 2-1 in overtime. STRESSFUL!
