The Beer Driven Devs

Return of the Mac: Part 2

Listen Later

In Part 2 of our wide-ranging chat with Ulysses Maclaren, we pick up right where we left off — with AI, agency, and the big existential questions.

But true to form, we take a few scenic detours along the way.

We discuss:

  • The role of emotion, taste, and soul in a world of generative AI
  • Why creativity might be the last truly human advantage - or maybe not?
  • What scares us most (and what excites us most) about autonomous agents
  • Status games, authenticity, and what happens when everyone becomes an AI influencer
  • What education, careers, and society might look like when AI is the default collaborator

    • And somehow, we still manage to have a laugh while staring into the abyss.

    If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, go do that first — this one drops you right in the deep end.
