AI Chefs and Unqualified Sled Dogs | TAPE Classic

In this TAPE classic, Trace tackles a transportation problem of his own creation by figuring out just how many chihuahuas it would take to complete the Iditarod, the legendary dogsled race across hundreds of miles of Alaskan wilderness, forcing him to confront the limits of canine endurance, logistics, and plain old common sense. Meanwhile, Julian investigates whether AI can help cook an egg, only to discover that turning a simple breakfast into a prompt-driven exercise may be far more complicated than cracking a shell.

QUESTIONs

Trace: "How many chihuahuas would it take to complete the Iditarod?" from Loren
