e552 — Norwegian Blue Vision
Episode 552
Monday, 4 May, 2026
Photo by Shannon Potter on Unsplash Published 4 May 2026 e552 with Andy, Michael and Michael – stories and discussion on AI, life on Mars, life of the Vision Pro, retro C64s and a whole lot more! Andy, Michael and Michael get things started with a brace of AI articles dealing with with a wide variety of topics. First up is Meta’s use of employee activities on their corporate computers to train their AI models. Then, a discussion on the SpaceX and Cursor business deal. Next, a conversation on a breach to access the Claude Mythos model. Interspersed with these is a discovery by NASA’s Curiosity rover finding organic molecules on Mars. With a number of articles claiming, and paraphrasing here, that the Vision Pro is bereft of life, shuffled up its mortal coil and joined the choir invisible, Michael Rowe shares his perspective on the subject. His says his Vision Pro is not an Ex-Vision Pro. The cohosts go retro – as they are wont to do – with a flock of posts about all things Commodore. Links below if you are curious and want to see what these devices look like. While no Artemis II image for this week’s episode, do check out the minifigs.me offering of the crew, along with the jar of “Studella” in the links below. There are a couple of additional bonus links that the cohosts didn’t have time to include in the episode that prove that we can have nice things. What is your quest?
