In this episode, we’ll be discussing why running updates in any environment can be a pain in your side. We’ll also be covering the recent controversial changes to the Reddit API and to keep the AI theme going strong this episode, we’ll be discussing a lawyer who thought using ChatGPT to generate fake sources in an ongoing court case was a good idea.
