We talk about tech that does some kind of social good, but we also like talking about how tech could maybe be a little less terrible. This may be our 240th episode, which is very silly. In one we are talking about the news, including Internet Ninjas and Elon Musk doing something new involving AI. Oh, good.
Joining host Bex is Tech For Good Live team members Greg Ashton and Paul Jakubowski, and we are also joined by an old face/voice, Mille Vardheim.
This week’s topics:
