Description

In our third episode, we discuss one of Shelly‘s favorite children’s books, “The Wild Robot,” and its sequel, “The Wild Robot Escapes,” by Peter Brown. We discussed how the themes of these books intersect with artificial intelligence (AI) ChatGPT from OpenAI, ethics, and themes of family, kindness and love. In the second half, we discuss our five-year plan, as we are now “empty-nesters” in North Carolina. We know life is short, and we know there is power in writing down our goals and our dreams.
