And maybe this time start with John.
5:07
Yeah, we use AI as much as we can without losing a feeling of authenticity.
5:14
You know, I want it to be my voice and in the program, obviously I'm conducting interviews or I'm doing deep dives into topics where it's important to me that those parts that my voice is really me.
5:27
But we have AI poof everywhere else.
5:31
I mean, so we have an operations manager, Sonia, who is incredible at stitching together lots of different AI workflows and automating episode production as much as possible.
5:43
So for example, the show notes, the episode summary.
5:50
That's something that these days LLMs are so good at.

John, what's your take on this?
4:23
And maybe this time start with John.

Yeah, we use AI as much as we can without losing a feeling of authenticity.
4:33
You know, I want it to be my voice in the program.
4:37
Obviously I'm conducting interviews or I'm doing deep dives into topics where it's important to me that those parts, that my voice is really me.
4:46
But we have AI, poof, everywhere else.

So for example, the show notes, the episode summary, that's something that these days LLMs are so good at.

And I don't know that we have all the machinery yet to tease some of that stuff apart.
32:23
How do you balance between them, and do you think this is a bubble, uh, about to burst, or is it just normal evolution, it'll keep going?
32:30
For sure.
32:30
So there's a, an episode that I did in March of this year, episode nine seven four, and it's basic- it's basically about this question, are we in an AI bubble, and when is it going to burst? And I, I won't be able to [chuckles] recount the arguments as well off the cuff as I made during that episode.
32:49
So if you wanna get kind of my definitive thoughts, you should check that out.
32:51
But I'll do my best to kind of remember what I was saying and, and get the general gist across to everyone, which is that regardless whether we're in a bubble or not, a lot more is going to happen with AI.
33:05
And even if we are in a bubble now and it bursts, while some individual companies and some investors might lose their shirts, all of the rest of us will benefit.
33:18
So this has been happening through history.
