About this episode
Ben and Matt discuss the implications of AI on hiring and the challenges of understanding complex concepts.
Ben worries replacing juniors with LLMs creates a future hiring crisis - who'll train the robot-wranglers? Matt blames COVID brain fog, then proves it by botching NP-completeness. Capitalism is bad at escaping local minima.
