The Omega Beam

Mar 4 2024 • 54 mins

Appropriately for a special 200th episode in which David Raiklen and Orren Merton discuss AI, we've decided to see what AI has to say about the content. AI says: *In Episode 200 of The Omega Beam, the hosts discuss two key topics: toxic fandom and artificial intelligence in entertainment. They reflect on the impact of toxic fandom on well-integrated projects and the effect of AI on the movie industry. The discussion draws connections to acclaimed sci-fi literature and recent media releases. They conclude by introduce a new segment to their show, where they share what they're currently watching.* We also used the image prompt "a benign robot calms angry science fiction fans in a movie theater" to generate the thumbnail and show note art for the episode.
