Welcome to Episode 22 of Altered Judgement, "Irish Goodbye"!This week, Joe returns from his international trip to Ireland and shares all of his wild stories. The guys crack open some Magners (or Bulmers) cider as Joe recounts his experiences navigating impossibly thin roads on the left side of the car, visiting the stunning Slieve League cliffs, and dealing with American "Karens" at the Guinness Storehouse.After catching up on the podcast's recent guest hosts and upcoming episodes, the conversation takes a wild turn into extreme weather. They discuss the current heat wave, Super El Niño predictions, the shifting of Tornado Alley, and share a crazy personal story about surviving a tornado during a canoe trip. Finally, they round out the episode with a deep dive into the rapid (and sometimes scary) advancements in AI, the rise of massive data centers, and the ethical dilemmas of artificial intelligence. Grab a cold drink, cool off, and tune in!
