Today Explains, Sean Ramos from here with a confession.
When I think about AI, I mostly think about
how long it's going to be before the machines come for my job.
The Washington Post has already launched an AI-generated news podcast, The Washington Post.
The good news, it makes factual errors, so my job is safe for now.
But AI is already out here replacing jobs.

Vibe Codes.
Got to sketch out some ideas for your tech behemoth?
Vibe Codes.

Support for the show comes from Virgin Atlantic.
