Episode description

Let's indulge in a little AI humor with this one. We're told it's an existential threat—and yet it still struggles to draft an email :) Yes, a real wave of change is here (I've even seen the first driverless cars), but much of today's narrative around AI is dangerous hype to garner more interest.

The AI scaling laws have stalled; this feels more like a souped-up Camry than a Ferrari. They are losing billions, and the economic viability is in question.

Dr. Cal Newport from The Deep Questions Podcast and Georgetown's Center for Digital Ethics has a sane, grounded, and thoughtful viewpoint of AI and challenges the religiosity of the West Coast tech companies.
