DeepSeek Disrupts Everything
Welcome back to The FAIK Files! When tech gets weird, we're here to help make sense of it all.
This week, we’re tackling:
- DeepSeek -- the little LLM from China that's taking the world by storm.
- Perry & Mason interview voice artist Keith Brown to see what he learned about AI while narrating Perry's book.
- And our AI dumpster fire of the week doesn't disappoint!
