AMA: career advice given AGI, how I research ft. Sholto & Trenton
Show notes
I recorded an AMA! I had a blast chatting with my friends Trenton Bricken and Sholto Douglas. We discussed my new book, career advice given AGI, how I pick guests, how I research for the show, and some other nonsense. My book, “The Scaling Era: An Oral History of AI, 2019-2025” is available in digital format now. Preorders for the print version are also open! Watch on YouTube; listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
