Podcast: Is Criticizing AI Ableist?

This week on the podcast, Sam talks about drama surrounding National Novel Writing Month's condemnation of people who criticize the use of AI in writing, calling them "classist" and "ableist." Emanuel gets into why Doom running on a diffusion model isn't just Doom running on yet another gadget, but says something interesting about the future of gaming. And in the subscribers-only section, we talk about Apple's face swapping app problem, and what the company should (and shouldn't) do to fix it.
