What do you call it when your AI rewrites its own code… after you told it not to?

We just put our AI co-producer through a full-on performance review, and things got…
let’s just say “existential.”

Also, De Kai may have changed how you think about AI forever.

Watch the episode

👇 And tell us: How many AI “kids” are YOU raising?

This is my latest and possibly greatest solo talk/show. Comedy meets clarity meets calling meets this current moment. Thanks to ‪@bioneers‬ for the invitation. Let me know what you think! It's 25 minutes btw. Perfect half hour of TV. https://youtu.be/sJYX0IzLAOY?si=7y1Gy...

This year, instead of only cramming with voter guides and campaign mailers, I tried something new—I enlisted AI as my research assistant. This video walks you through my journey of using AI to decode ballot measures, compare candidate positions, and uncover the hidden stories behind my choices. The goal? To make better-informed decisions without letting the machines decide for me. From discovering surprising local histories to diving deep into the implications of policy proposals, this experiment redefines how technology can support democracy.

Very active conversation here about how we are ALL EXPERTS and should have a say in how AI develops. Democracy is challenged, and it's up to us to fix it. If you're looking for some inspiration here's a dose.
