This is Wired's Uncanny Valley, a show about the people, power, and influence of Silicon Valley.

I'm Lauren Good. I'm a senior correspondent at Wired.

Today, we are bringing you a different kind of episode. Mike and Katie are out this week on well-deserved

vacations. So with the help of our Uncanny Valley producers,

I went deep into the show's inbox to see what you all were curious about.

You've been sending us some really great questions.

So we chose five excellent questions,

ranging from how AI has impacted the film industry,

to what it means for our healthcare future when chatbots are

spitting out false information, to what we can expect of the much-talked-about Johnny Ive and

Sam Altman collab. I was determined to find good answers, and I didn't think that I could

answer them all on my own. So I enlisted the help of two brilliant colleagues at Wired

to help me answer your questions.

My name is Kate Nibbs. I'm a senior writer at Wired.

And I'm Foresh DeVay, Senior Writer at Wired.

I'm Farrasht of A Senior Writer at Wired. Hakey, how are you doing this morning? This afternoon? What time is it?

Time is just a concept, Lauren. I'm good. I'm planning on eating ice cream later today, so that's sort of the prize that I have my eye on.

Why later? I mean, why not just eat it now on the show? Because I have to go to a doctor's appointment.

I'm very pregnant, and they're going to weigh me, so I'm going to eat the ice cream

after I get weighed. It's sort of a ritual I have. You've got it all worked out. Like a ritual as

in you typically eat ice cream after the doctor's appointments? Yes. And in between the doctor's

appointments, to be clear, but always after.
