Max Sklar joins the show to talk about Marsbots and machine learning.

## Shownotes:

Spend any time on social media and odds are that you've interacted with at least one bot account; given how advanced they've become, you might not even have noticed. Paul interviews bot programmer Max Sklar about why bots are a big part of the future of online interaction and why that's not necessarily a bad thing. They also discuss machine learning, artificial intelligence, and the deurbanization of New York City.

What is a geofence? Do we have an obligation to give data to apps for their user research? What is machine learning? Who or what is a marsbot??
