What to Watch: It’s probably too obvious, but just in case you missed the news, allow me play a role I rarely get to play: The bearer of good tidings. Succession is back, baby. For a less obvious viewing experience, I’d suggest being transported to a different world in every way by watching The Elephant Whisperers on Netflix.

+ What to Reid: Reid Hoffman knows as much about Chat AI as anyone. He’s probably the main reason its been incorporated into Bing, a move that officially began the current AI arms race. He’s a lot less worried about it than many of us are. He wrote a book about its potential – with the help of Chat-GPT-4. “Impromptu: Amplifying Our Humanity Through AI, written by Reid Hoffman with GPT-4, offers readers a travelog of the future — exploring how AI, and especially Large Language Models like GPT-4, can elevate humanity across key areas like education, business, and creativity. But, it’s not just a book, it’s a conversation. In a first, Hoffman doesn’t just write about GPT-4; he interacts and writes with GPT-4, letting readers see the technology’s capabilities.” I’m still worried, but I’m always interested in Reid’s perspective. (There’s even a free PDF of the book.) I like to think Reid wrote the book with a computer program because he assumed my schedule was too full.

+ What to Hear: The first time I heard Inhaler, I thought to myself, “Uh, this singer must be a pretty big fan of Bono, since he sounds a lot like him.” Well, it turns out that Elijah Hewson is Bono’s son. But forget the nepo baby critiques. Inhaler is a really good band. Check out Cuts and Bruises. (Start with Love Will Get You There and These Are The Days). Elijah is still only my second-favorite Hewson child. Eve Hewson holds the top spot.
