AI ETHICOLOGY: Will AI save the world? Kill us all? What happens when it uses artists’ work without permission? Who is babysitting it? Let’s chat with Cognitive scientist, Trinity College professor and Artificial Intelligence Ethicologist Dr. Abeba Birhane. We talk about environmental impacts, booby traps, doorbell narcs, commonly used fallacies, how the “godfathers’ of AI feel about their creation, robots doing your homework, and whether or not AI is actually the root of all evil. Also: bacon ice cream and why Siri is a girl. Listen at the link in bio or wherever you get podcasts. What do you think?

Some promised highlights: @insta_gremmie’s fresh cut, her before pic, & the llama model that inspired it; I got a sunsetty manicure as an homage to the favorite lake I walk around, by the lovely @shelbythetech and yes that is a ukulele because I followed @hotzthoughts’ Rx and I loved it. Alright listen to the Salugenology episode for context if none of this makes sense

Friday night is for honoring #OlogiesArt! Check out these beautiful pieces based on Earth day, spring time, nature and more! Art by: @definitelysometimes @jpopstudios @mcgee_pottery @poptortstudio @v.steiner @_kness @colorfulcreatureshop @m.lorain.art @tinyhousebigwoods @itsdavidandrenee

Crafting. Motorcycle repair. Banjo lessons. Wait wait wait. Hobbies aren’t a reward, but tools to save your mental and physical health? Says science? Journalist/author of “The Connection Cure,” - and professional Salugenology expert — Julia Hotz @hotzthoughts explains the data behind going outside, rediscovering what makes you happy, scheduling time for hobbies if you have no time for hobbies, free support, how quarantine affected mental health, what if social interaction gives you the willies, what if depression keeps you from doing the things that lift depression, the scientific deal with cold-plunging, where to volunteer, disability and connection, saving money by joining a knitting circle or fishing club, if protesting is a good past time, how capitalism can literally kill us, and why she hates the title of her own book. I loved this one so much we made it a double. Part 2 is next week. What did you think?

A smologite dissecting a squid and Ologites out in nature - all while in #OlogiesMerch - these are the moments we live for! P.S: we also love volcanos (and have an episode of course). Tag @ologies or dm your merch photos to be featured. Modhels: @tosomama’s daughter @chelseawilck @liv.firs

#ClimateFervorology: how to find hope. Cleaner energy! Reasoning with climate deniers! Using fandom to pass policy! And not burning out. Adam Met, @adamajrbrothers of the colossal indie pop band @ajrbrothers is also a career climate activist with @planet.reimagined, an International Human Rights Law PhD, adjunct professor at Columbia University, and the author of the upcoming book “Amplify: How to Use the Power of Connection to Engage, Take Action, and Build a Better World.” He joins to chat about breaking through the overwhelm of climate causes, what action actually matters, if petitions even work, what happens to our brains at a rock concert, how human rights and climate policy intersect, if you should drive a gas or an electric car, how to solve problems that are vexing you by not working on them, carbon footprint guilt, the similarities between writing an album and writing a book, and how to do something about climate change without bumming everyone out. It’s possible.

This past week’s episode geared us up for Earth Day with GARBAGE. #DiscardAnthropology with onetime NYC sanitation worker and current professor at @nyuniversity Dr. @rznagle takes you from curb to landfill to incinerator to ocean to barge to space to tell us WHAT HAPPENS TO GARBAGE. Also what’s the coolest thing she’s ever found? Trash and treasure folks — wherever you get podcasts. Thank a sanitation person today. 🚮
