Two Blokes Talking About Jobs, AI, and Data Centers

No guest. No Game Show. No Data Poetry Slam, Monologue, Dispatches, or 8-Bit Consultants. Just two blokes talking. Over the past several weeks we've been discussing jobs, AI, and data centers, and there were some things that we wanted to get off our collective chests and share with others.

AI is transforming the work we do, but what happens when the work being automated is also how the next generation learns to become expert? John and Mark debate the impact of AI on jobs, the disappearance of traditional entry-level opportunities, and the challenge of developing experienced professionals when AI can produce so many of the artifacts they once learned to create.

We then turned to the infrastructure behind the AI revolution, especially the growing demands for electricity and water, the effects on local communities, and the unintended consequences of building first and asking questions later. Drawing parallels with railroads, the Industrial Revolution, and the dot-com boom, we explore whether we can embrace the opportunities of AI without repeating the mistakes of previous technological revolutions.

We have no doubt that you have opinions on these subjects also. They might even differ from one or both of ours. Leave a comment or write us at [email protected].
