Episode Details

How were the steaks? One was over done, the other was alright… that’s what I get for leaving them in the oven while I recorded the podcast.

Sorry about the botched intro to yesterday’s episode, it felt a bit weak. To say nothing about the technical issues!

Workout in! Got stuck in the gym! Am I not supposed to be taking a week off? Hit the major lifts today: squats, rows and shoulder press.

And student questions:

-How do you use Claude?

-How much do you pay?

-Do you think AI will take your job?

-And why doesn’t Canada extradite the Chinese national?
