God Human Animal Machine
Pranav tells us the story of his adventures being a bartender for a farmer's convention in rural UK and the pros of getting into the gig economy.
For the core of the discussion, Arvind brings up ideas from the book "God, Human, Animal, Machine" by Meghan O'Gieblyn regarding intelligence, consciousness and how we interact with increasingly intelligent robots and machines.

Do you like cartoons? We like cartoons and we'll make sure you know how much. Once again, we discuss how cartoons have changed and why?
