SMAK. Alain is back from Ireland and he brings Bushmills Irish Whiskey, whiskey-flavoured chocolate, and a deck of cards bought at the Trinity College Library. We talk about his trip, the influence of AI in the publishing industry and the music industry, and Mike’s new 3-D printing machine which he assembled himself. We also wonder if there is such a thing as alcohol-free whiskey (turns out there is).
