Tech Skeptics A live show where you debate, then smash technology. It’s important to consider the assistance certain technology provides us. Needle & Thread Michael A. Cummings is a quilt artist. The way he thinks about fabrics reminds me of Becky. “I might get a half yard,” he thought

Analogy for Becky on the state of OpenAI. Imagine if you started a sewing pattern company named SewingAI. You are the CEO. This company uses AI to generate sewing patterns. Very cool! SewingAI is a non-profit, because your mission is to ensure that SewingAI benefits all of humanity, not to
