What do you get when you combine music, AI and 2 creative minds? You get my favorite musical anarchists Dadabots. CJ and Zack are with us today.

Personally, I've been a big fan for a while now and was very ecstatic when they said yes to be on the show. 

We talked about AI, Machine learning, music, sample RNN and where to get started and how you can help the cause.

The drive that these fellows have is very inspiring. If they were lacking knowledge for a certain goal they were right on it and conquered it. Today, they are writing Science papers and doing a lot of performances and participating in different projects. 

I will say that these guys are the modern day scientists and the artists of the future and have my full support.

PS They are metalheads as well and to me it is only icing on the cake.
