Attack Ads! The Podcast
Using computers that can more or (mostly) less function as if they were "intelligent" is all the rage today, especially in business. Why hire a person when a machine can do the job? Others are goofing around with these machines as well, including my own brother. I explore some of his recent goofs in this Episode 281: My Brother's Experiment.

Attack Ads! The Podcast
Definitions can be difficult sometimes, especially when the word you are floundering to define doesn't really have a concrete definition, but rather a multitude of different applications and associations.

Attack Ads! The Podcast
Categorizing certain things is important. Over-categorizing them, though, can be more damaging to one's understanding than not categorizing things at all.

Nullius In Verba
Attack Ads! The Podcast
For reasons I hope to make clear soon, advertising is not foremost on my mind right now. I made a realization that a great change will quite possibly befall us, and… I have no idea when. To understand my thinking on this, though, I feel it's necessary to give some background. Hence, some background in this Episode 275: Nullius In Verba.
