Just in time for March Madness. I created AgentMadness, my AI-powered March Madness tournament sim that turns all 68 NCAA teams into competing AI agents, then lets Claude and ElevenLabs call every game like a live broadcast. Check it: agentmadness-seven.vercel.app repo: github.com/tmoody1973/a...

AgentMadness — AI Tournament Simulator
68 teams become AI agents. Claude simulates every game. ElevenLabs calls every upset. The bracket fills in real time.

Yesterday, federal funding for public radio ends as CPB support disappears nationwide. It’s a moment that hits home—not just for stations like Radio Milwaukee, but for audiences who rely on public media for culture, discovery, and connection.

Isaac Asimov Describes How Artificial Intelligence Will Liberate Humans & Their Creativity in His Last Major Interview (1992)
Artificial intelligence may be one of the major topics of our historical moment, but it can be surprisingly tricky to define.
