Hello, Connor.

Happy Earthling Day.

Hey, Andrew.

Happy Earthling Day to you, too.

So for those who don't know, this is Earthling Unplugged, a special edition of the

non-zero podcast where we talk about items from The Earthling, the weekend edition of Robert

Wright's non-zero newsletter on Substack, which you and Robert Wright and I write together every

week. And in Earthling Unplugged, we also share hot takes and stray thoughts on current events.

Right now, it's just obviously you and me, Connor, but people should know we're going to have a very

special mystery guest come in for actually like an hour at the end of this, you know, of us talking.

I don't want to spoil it. I guess I can say his first name is Robert.

He goes by Bob.

He should be very familiar to fans of the non-zero podcast.

I mean, what else can I say?

He's writing a book on AI.

Do you have any tantalizing hands by way of describing him?

I'm afraid that you might give it away at this point.

We're getting awfully close.

I don't know. Yeah, let's leave it at that. Let's leave people on the edge of their seats, I think. And maybe the best way for us to go this time is just to, I think we've got a little bit more banter in the conversation that you're going to see with the mystery guests.

So we're going to get down to brass tacks here.

And we're going to start talking about it.
