Matt ReportThe curious case of AI theftIn this off-the-cuff response episode, I react to a pointed comment left on a recent YouTube live stream I hosted with Mark Z. Mansky. The topic?

The speaking engagement abstract is provided below. While trauma-informed awareness is a valuable tool for addressing the root causes of crime, it's important to acknowledge that first responder activities remain essential for maintaining public safety. Trauma-informed approaches can complement traditional first responder strategies by providing a more holistic understanding of crime and its underlying factors.

No mention is made of Walker's extensive experience with Gilbert & Sullivan. Mark's stint as the Official Pokémon Master of Canada is glossed over. The deep tribal conflict of Jocks versus Geeks, of which Walker is destined to be the bridge (think Dune but even more messianic), is only alluded to. Someday, the whole story might be told, but you wouldn't believe us. 01:43 AYURIS: Nemesis (Adam Kwapiński, Awaken Realms, 2018) Games Played Last Week:04:27 -Stardew Valley: The Board Game (Eric Barone & Cle Medeiros, CorcernedApe, 2021)2021-12-071h 15The WP MinuteHelen Hou-Sandi reads your WordPress news!Thanks Pressable for supporting the podcast!
