In this episode, Mark and Jeff discuss the trials and tribulations of Jeff as his Facebook account has been hacked.  The hacker changed the email address and phone number for verification.  As a consequence he cannot recover the account.  One step further, Facebook has no customer support.  If you can't solve it with an automated assistant you can't solve it.  Mark and Jeff also discuss other current events, media they are consuming, tell a few bad dad jokes and review what they learned in the past week.

In this episode Mark and Jeff discuss the benefits and traps of Google reviews for small businesses.  Google reviews are increasingly being seen as a major way people decide on purchasing services and goods.  The catch is that negative reviews can have devastating consequences for small businesses.  Some competitors even use them to sabotage people providing the same services or goods.  Mark and Jeff also discuss the Vision Pro headset from Apple and as usual, discuss things they learned this week and what media they are consuming.

Hooray!  This episode marks our 100th release.  In this episode Mark and Jeff discuss what is trans-formative AI and how/when it will lead to obsolescence of humans.  P (doom) is the probability that AI will somehow lead to the destruction of humankind.  Some people's P (doom) is low but for others familiar with AI tech, that number is somewhat higher.  Mark and Jeff discuss some of the risks ahead with trans-formative AI.  As usual we also sample coffee, tell some Dad jokes, discuss what we learned in the past week and what media we are consuming.  Thanks for joining us for our 100th episode.  We will have an accompanying video but that will be released later on June 6th 2023.  Check our our Facebook page for links to relevant information discussed during our podcast.
