Last week in TNR, Kelly and JL got real about AI and the Analog Revolution ... and then the verdict came back on the Meta / YouTube case. Some folks are comparing this case to the Big Tobacco fallout back in the late 1990s. The ruling called out what we've known for a while now: tech addiction is real. JL and Kelly discuss their own relationships with social media going back to the godfather, AOL Instant Messenger (iykyk).
