In order to grow and retain a diverse and engaged user base, Hexbear needs to keep up with trends in the podcasting world. The time has come for a new flagship podcast, and that is why we must all start listening to The Prompt:

This series features Trevor Noah, Microsoft’s Chief Questions Officer, who is known for his inquisitive nature. In each episode, he and his guest discuss a new prompt that is relevant to the public debate, how they are using AI to address urgent global issues, and its effect on public safety, health, education, and more. He explores the cutting-edge of technology, crossing boundaries and learning from technologists, engineers, scientists, and communities around the world.

Never thought the demand to join the Borg would be coming from Trevor Noah, did you?

The Matrix missed an oportunity. Trevor Noah's name should be Gink Grob which a reverse palindrome for Borg King.

Pointless trivia

There's a ridiculous chess opening named after Henri Grob - an unremarkable chess player.

Grob's Attack

Grob's Attack, or the Grob Opening, is an unconventional chess opening in which White begins with the move:

1. g4

It is widely considered to be one of the worst possible first moves for White. International Master (IM) John Watson writes, "As far as I can tell, 1 g4 is competitive with 1 h4 for the honour of being White's worst first move. Against an informed or skilled opponent, it is simply masochistic."

Is this just a marketing campaign for Micro$uck's spyware?

The lab itself is supposed to take on pro bono projects that use AI/Machine Learning to advance the public good, which is probably meant to be an advertisement for Microsoft's products.

Still good to be informed of the dealings of Micro$uck. There is value in that.

Of course, we should all be delighted over news of how AI is definitely making the world a better place.
