Plop helps you not to be afraid to go to the toilet and with training you learn to do a βplopβ regularly. The Dino Doc will explain to you how βploppingβ works, then you can try it out yourself and write down how it goes for you in a diary. If you train well, you can collect rewards, play a dinosaur game or even get a dinosaur diploma. If you want, you can print out your Plop diary and show others how well you did.

The Framework App
Read full descriptionHide full description
The Framework is an audio app for people who want to understand AI without learning to code. The main course is called "Understanding AI". In fifty short lessons, it explains how the technology actually works, from neural networks to language models, and then looks at what all of this means for the way we work and live. It's based on Marcel SalathΓ©'s best-selling book. The second course is about AI agents, meaning AI that can act on your behalf. In eleven lessons, it explains how agents work, and how to delegate work to them well. In between, there are the Explorations: shorter pieces on whatever is happening in AI right now. New ones are added regularly. Every lesson is short enough for a walk or a commute. The app itself is deliberately simple. You press play and listen. Marcel SalathΓ© is a best-selling professor at EPFL in Lausanne, where he co-directs the EPFL AI Center. What's inside: "Understanding AI", the complete course in fifty lessons "AI Agents", a shorter course on AI that can act for you Explorations on current topics, added regularly Recorded in original voice, with an optional AI voice
