Like many of us out there Judah Friedlander is a little scared of artificial intelligence. He’s afraid of a Terminator 2 or any other “rise of the machines” type of movie becoming our reality. But Judah’s not the kind of guy who’s going to sit down and write an op-ed about it. He’s also not going to do months of research and write an academic paper. He’s going to watch all of this stuff first hand. At least that’s what his funny new 8 series show is going to do. According to AV Club
Normally, the best way to get to know this exciting and terrifying technology is through enormous thinkpieces, but TechCrunch opted, instead, to send comedian Judah Friedlander to explore the topic. (It was produced for them by Onion Studios, the long-form content development arm of Onion Inc., but we swear we’re not biased.) Across eight episodes, Judah Vs The Machines explores recent advances in AI with a delightfully droll antagonism, puncturing Silicon Valley pretension as well as, say, Silicon Valley itself.
All eight episodes are available over on TechCrunch‘s site here. They’re a quick, funny way to better understand our impending robot overlords, if Friedlander can’t stop them first.
