| 0:00.0 | Keeping up with what's going on in today's technological social media platform AI world is impossible. |
| 0:13.1 | I've been trying for a long time to find a guest who could come on the show and talk to us a little bit about what exactly is happening in front of us, how the ground is |
| 0:21.7 | moving under our feet, how to make sense of it all, with an eye towards being reasonable, |
| 0:27.6 | thoughtful, careful with their language, not somebody who's prone to being hyperbolic, |

| 1:52.1 | and something I've talked a little bit about on our weekly podcast, suspension of the rules, |
