We offer an entertaining look at some of the big issues in history by examining public apologies of the famous and infamous. We’re looking at politicians, serial killers, actors, and you! Send us an apology you would like to make and we’ll read it on the podcast and give you the chance to redeem yourself or just get some guilt off your shoulders. We’re here for you, once a week, maybe more if you are really, really sorry.

It took Facebook and Twitter five years to reach 100 million users. TikTok reached 100 million users in 9 months. Chat GPT took 64 days. As Bill Gates proclaimed, The Age of AI is here.
Sort of. It's here but Humanity isn't quite sure what it is or what it means for our future. We do know that it means big money for corporations, huge changes in the way we work, and that it will raise issues of ethics and morals as it integrates with our society and begins to control the way decisions are made.
We also know that it lies. It lies and it doubles down on its lies and it will accuse you of being a lying liar when confronted with its own mistakes.
Google's new Artificial intelligence system, Bard, committed an act of plagiarism and apologized for the error. Later when asked about the incident, Bard denied it had ever happened and opened up a can of accusations against the world for trying to ruin its reputation.
It's our first apology from a computer (if you don't count Elon Musk)!
UPDATE: On March 29, 2023, over 1,000 tech leaders, including our corporate overlord Elon Musk, released an open letter urging developers to pause work on AI citing "profound risks to society and humanity." With trillions of dollars on the table will anyone listen (that's probably a no, but nice try tech leaders!).
