The Computer Exorcist Podcast

This morning Angry Marc flies solo!

I discuss the hype behind AI: Contributing to the destruction of humanity, all because you were too lazy to write a paragraph for yourself.

Most people think there are only 1 or 2 choices when in reality you have MANY OPTIONS. We'll discuss choices in email, web browsers, International messaging, web search, and a bonus site that helps protect you from Big Social Media.
