This week we take a have a look at the mess of corporate drama in artificial intelligence. Stability AI announced that its founder and CEO, Emad Mostaque, is leaving the corporate. Meanwhile, Microsoft hired two co-founders and most of Inflection’s staff without acquiring the corporate itself. Both moves surprised technology insiders. We then spoke to listeners who had something to say about our interview with Jonathan Haidt on smartphones, social media and young people. Finally, we explore the actual motives behind “Shrimp Jesus” and other wildly popular social media images which have been generated using artificial intelligence.
