Robots, AI, Psychedelics, & Coffee w/ Zappy Zappoline!
<p>This Tangent began in the coffee shop when Zappy Zapolin, resident Psychedelic Concierge and cool conversationalist, said that we'll see domesticated robots in a significant number of homes in about 3 years (ie. robots that vacuum).

Is AI an Anti-Collaboration Tool? Plus Why I Even Do These Things
<p>For my 30th ep 🎉 I get into why I even do these podcasts/streams/videos (hint: therapy). I also get into A.I. music, Timbaland and his new A.I. artist, Milli Vanilli (the group Milli Vanilli, not saying that Tims new artist is Milli Vanilli...but 🤔 😁), and even Macromedia Dreamweaver. It's a rather scatterbrained episode, but I think I tied it together in a fittingly tangential manner 🤞🏽✌🏽</p><p>Watch or Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDdIExRnyJY</p><p>Apple Podcasts: https://rb.gy/2yffl0</p><p><br></p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandancraft</p><p>Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/brandancraft.bsky.social</p><p>https://www.brandancraft.com</p><p><br></p><p>Straight from class to the cast, Brandan Craft, a visual communication design professor continues his thoughts, instruction, stories, and TANGENTS regarding topics relating to art, design, and tech.</p><p><br></p><p>All music, design, and editing: @BrandanCraft </p><p><br></p><p>TANGENTS:</p><p>00:00 Intro</p><p>02:57 The designer/dev relationship</p><p>08:32 The producer/artist relationship</p><p>22:49 Why I even do these things</p><p><br></p><p>Year 2: First Semester</p>
