On this episode of Da Fixx, we welcome special guest, Kel Mitchell in our spiritual detox segment. We covered a range of topics including marriage and he and his wife’s decision to abstain until they were married, his youth ministry and of course his new single Go Time. In our real talk segment, we discuss “everyday people”, our similarities and our differences.

The AI Revolution and the Importance of Books

We kicked off the show with a quick conversation about the retirement of Geoffrey Hinton from Google. Known as the “godfather of AI,” Hinton has been vocal about the potential dangers of technology, particularly the rapid learning capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI). We discussed an incident where an AI program was able to understand and translate a conversation in Bengali without being prompted. This incident underscores the need for caution when interacting with AI and the importance of not sharing personal information with unknown sources.

In the age of AI, we also highlighted the increasing value of books as a reliable source of information. Books offer a contrast to the potential misinformation generated by AI, reminding us of the importance of traditional knowledge sources.

A Walk Down Memory Lane with Kel Mitchell

Our guest, Kel Mitchell, took us on a nostalgic journey, reminiscing about his experiences growing up in the inner city. We shared laughs over memories of frying bologna in a cast iron skillet and the technique of splitting the bologna to prevent it from bubbling up. We also discussed the nostalgia of using government cheese, a staple in our households. These shared experiences remind us of the importance of being able to relate to someone’s past experiences.
