That is a very vague phrase, but it means in some way the algorithm is going to change.

But that we're gonna not see for a while.

It doesn't hurt them because they don't have feelings on that part of their feet.

You have to, you wanna be a professional to do it though.

You and I should not be cleaning horses.

But I'm glad that Nate's out there doing it.

A lot of us have spent a lot of the last week watching videos of what's happening on the streets of Minneapolis and understanding what it is that we're seeing, but also what's real and what isn't and what's AI and who is taking these videos and how we're supposed to understand the source feels harder than ever.

So this week on The Verge Cast, we're talking about what's happening in Minneapolis, how information moves in an AI age, and what it means to make sense of it all.

I don't know that I had a individual specific moment so much as kind of a collection of things over time, right? I think the story you hear from people a lot is like my five-year-old kid came up to me and said, dad, why do you love your phone more than me? And that was the moment I decided.
