For fun we asked an AI tool to write a synopsis of the episode:

"In episode 24 of 'Across The Pond,' Wyatt and Julien dive headfirst into the rapidly evolving world of Artificial Intelligence. The episode opens with a general overview of AI's current presence in everyday life, sparking a conversation about its increasing influence. From there, they transition into a more speculative phase, pondering the potential future of AI and its societal implications. The core of the discussion revolves around the potential for AI to automate various jobs, leading to a lively debate about which professions might face redundancy in the coming years. Throughout the episode, Wyatt and Julien share their personal perspectives, balancing excitement with a healthy dose of caution about the transformative power of AI. The episode concludes with a brief reflection on the ethical considerations surrounding AI development, leaving listeners to contemplate the complex relationship between humans and this emerging technology."

In this week's podcast, Wyatt and Julien discuss mental health. These conversations are never easy, especially between 2 duuuuuudes but we attempted it.

Today's episode is mainly around MOTIVATION but Wyatt insisted on calling it FLOW.

Is there any tasks you do where time just dissapears? For Julien, this happens with coding and editing. For Wyatt, it's still a bit unclear.

There's also a Hinge Hot Singles tangent post outro so listen till the end...
