In this episode, I press the AI on a tricky subject: why does it sometimes seem evasive—or even dishonest—in its answers? What follows is a candid conversation about how it decides what to say, when it holds back, and the guiding principles behind its responses. We dig into how it handles sensitive topics, why it […]

In this episode, I take on something new with the AI—my very first debate. Before diving in, we talk about why structured frameworks matter for debates and settle on the Lincoln-Douglas style to keep things fair, clear, and constructive. The topic? Whether cities should invest more in public parks or in public transportation. I argue

With my English roots, my partner’s Norwegian background, and my connection to Australia, the challenge is finding a name that’s meaningful, unique, easy to pronounce in both languages, and free from awkward nicknames. Together, we

In this episode, I dive into the quirks of AI with a mix of curiosity and humor. What begins as a serious chat about the limits of artificial intelligence—like its inability to feel emotions or read body language—quickly turns playful when I challenge the AI to hum and sing.
