I’m Done Pretending to Care About the News | Ep. 207

Description

Matt unpacks algorithmic news fatigue, debate theater, the $20 burrito argument, and why AI feels more like electricity than social media. He shares how he built software without knowing code, explains which jobs AI may replace first, and tells how a friend used AI to launch a booked-out lawnmower repair business in two months.
