Now That I Know

Three old friends pick up where they left off, covering a Metallica show, Transformers, and how AI turned one of them back into a coder. We get into what AI is actually good for (getting past creative inertia, real-time feedback on code, and finally sorting a lifetime of music), plus why it's only as good as the sources it learns from. Then the talk drifts to rock legends, the session players behind the hits, and why your kids have never heard of half of them. We close with the funniest moments from our podcasting run and what's next.

Takeaways

• AI is best at the tedious work you've been putting off.
• It makes a surprisingly good programming partner, with instant feedback.
• What AI learns from matters, so good sources and ethics come first.
• Great music lasts because of the people behind it, including the session players nobody names.
• Comedy works when you find a persona that's really yours.
