Rob Albritton, previous guest-star from episode #5, returns to The Data Canteen! Rob kicks things off by updating us on the metamorphosis of Octo's oLabs from the planning stage (where things were in episode #5), to the fully evolved physical instantiation that debuted just last month, to how he hopes to see it employed for positive impact going forward. Next, we go down a very cool and weird path talking about rogue robots, cyborgs, and artificial general intelligence :-)! Finally, Rob addresses questions submitted by you our listeners!
