    This might not be from a specific episode, but there are two questions that keep coming to my mind everytime I here this or some other AI podcasts (within the same line). First: How do you imagine tech, Sillicon Valley, economy itself when the AI bubble bursts. On one hand, as you’ve mentioned in some episodes: the genie is out of the bottle, but the genie doesn’t seem to be profitable so what happens next?
    Second: when you think about the jobs AI is going to take / might already be taking, do you think about some specific roles? I have to use AI inside my work and I’m at one of those companies who praises the use of AI and want to see AI in all processes (whatever that means), but I don’t know I’m always like this tool is stupid, I’m sure there must be great use cases, but I always keep thinking how is it that this stupid “tool” will take many jobs? Does that make sense? Anyway, great podcast, love hearing you!
