Topic 1: The Arms Race is Here...AI is Definitely Moving Fast, but Will It Break Things?
ChatGPT is now integrated in Bing as “Prometheus.” That sounds ominous. But Bard is also coming. And now Ernie. And Claude. Soon there will be AI bots generating “conversations” and disrupting the search industry on all sides of the globe. Is that a good thing?

Topic 2: Revisiting the Cabana...
Four years ago, we set out to change the way our industry discussed IT.
We covered the scary, the quirky, and the fun of IT--all in hopes we could help others (and ourselves) understand this wild world just a little more.
Thank you for helping us do that.
This is not goodbye. We WILL see you later.
Until then, we thank you for tuning in to the Killing IT Podcast.
