Well, they're scarier, I suppose.

If you had a really slapstick, tired, groggy chess opponent, you'd be like, whatever.

But if you had a really sharp chess opponent, they would be so much scarier.

It'd be a much bigger threat of outsmarting you.

We do have an episode, a recent one on AI and ethics, which is wonderful.

And it addresses the question, will AI kill you?

It's a fun one.

And it's made entirely by breathing, thinking, eating, crying, shitting humans, which is rare in this day and age.

The last questions I always ask are, I guess, do you have a least favorite depiction of evil?

Do you have like a flim flam or something that just really pisses you off about the notion of evil that makes your job hard?

Flames on the side of my face.

Well, I think that's interesting that the actual harmful concept is the binary, is the classification that that's maybe a harm that we should be more aware of.

Well, on that note, last question I usually ask, what's your favorite thing about your job?

Kate Munker, Mushroom Screams.

I want to know, who is your favorite villain?

What's your favorite evil movie or book?

Do you have a villain that you're just like, that's a good one?

I can groove to that.

I'm so appreciative that you can help my brain try to understand your brain when you start to look at something through that different lens and you have more context for the world around you.

And so, yeah, the work you're doing, I think.
