This was definitely an interesting episode, hosting with an AI co-host. Did they do a good job? Or did it devolve into chaos. Did I become unhinged? Listen and find out! Thanks to @tylershores.bsky.social for going along for the ride, mmm-hmm!
This week on The Other Kind of Doctor, @tealescope.bsky.social is joined by a rather unusual co-host: Microsoft Co-Pilot 🤖 Will AI make a decent stand-in for a human co-host? And what does our guest, @tylershores.bsky.social (researcher of digital wellbeing and productivity) think about all of this?

Generative AI for Academics by Mark Carrigan is one of the best books I've read this year. A very thoughtful and critical exploration about the technology that is changing how we work and think. Recommended reading for anyone interested in #GenAI in #academia:

TL;DR: Because social media feels less social. But, why?

This week's random discovery in the office! I seriously doubt there is a DVD player lying around, but now I want to watch Cool Runnings.
Also we should probably tidy up around here more often.

Interesting idea and I see appeal of the curation angle but I think I'm probably too picky to do a book subscription box. Sounds kind of fun though --

A new chapter for publishing? Book subscription services launch their own titles
The book-posting operations have had a huge market impact, but will publishing their own titles cost them their serendipitous magic?
