607 - In the Beginning Was the Word

Scriptnotes Podcast - Podcast tekijän mukaan John August and Craig Mazin - Tiistaisin

Kategoriat:

John and Craig ponder the nature of words and what gives them meaning. Using new information on how large language models function, they look at the dizzying amount of connections words can create with other words, between humans, and their profound effect on the nature of consciousness. We promise we’re not high. We also follow up on racist characters before answering listener questions on balancing deadlines with an artistic process and our ideal press junket questions. In our bonus segment for premium members, John and Craig reflect on the impact left on them by the art and life of Sinéad O’Conner.
