Really glad to have Matt Odell as a return guest. Instead of an interview we used this as an opportunity to talk about our wonderful dystopia full of 30 hour battery life, folded proteins, and zero privacy. Enjoy!

Local-first and freeform software with James Long
In classic podcasting style, I managed to frontload this episode with highly technical questions up front and then we slowly morphed the conversation into a more conceptual what-is-the-future-of-computers sort of thing.
James is a really wonderful guy from what I've learned over the decade or so I've been following him on Twitter and you should def check out Actual if you're in the market for budgeting software.

Is tech actually good tho
This is a tough one because I'm fairly undecided. Are we sliding toward an apocalypse? Is too much getting worse to expect anything to get better? Is YouTube actually kind of a great thing? I've been stuck on this long enough that I figured I should just put it out there and let you decide. A lot of different thoughts here but I swear it's all connected.
Thanks to ZappyCode for buying a fake ad this week!

GPT-3
No offense to @jayriverlong, but I think his think piece on GPT-3 is kind of dumb: "In a GPT-3 World, Anonymity Prevents Free Speech"
So I did a whole podcast about it.

Customer Reviews
There Is Only One Paul...
Paul Miller’s perspective has always been unique in the tech media sphere. I’ve been listening since we were all babies and wouldn’t miss it.
More Matt Odell!!!!!
The Matt Odell episodes are my favorite!
Tech Philosopher
Really great show!!
I really appreciate Paul’s unique thought process as he shares his ideas on how we use & relate to computers and software etc and getting down to issues about owning vs being owned by tech.
Also he’s a chill interviewer and really gets his guests to open up in unexpected & surprising ways for some unique and original perspectives.
Always excited to listen to new episodes and feel a little bit enlightened after listening.
Keep em coming Paul!
