There is romance in our show, it's just that it hurts everyone so bad. And even when it doesn't hurt, they're just so afraid of being hurt that... well, maybe this song by Karen in Ep. 6 will say it better than I can. "The Space Man" is on your feeds now.

Noticing that it's getting really, really hard to keep up with the latest in AI, even though we LITERALLY WORK IN AI. So, me + ericagreene started working together to try and make sense of it all. Sign up for our coffee shop convos and email threads! machinesonpaper.com
