About this episode
The episode discusses the Mandalorian, an event called Afterburner, and the impact of AI on programming and writing professions.
Mandalorian and Grogu are out, and we got to see it! Also, we had a chance to attend an event at the Evergreen Air and Space Museum called Afterburner. Both of these were a lot of fun and well done. Our second segment this week covers the current state of jobs with programmers and authors. Are these still good professions to aspire to? How is AI changing things? Will AI replace these jobs?
