Hey Reader, I'm excited to share a new (free!) podcast episode – I sat down for 90 minutes with Zack Arnold, the founder of Optimize Yourself and an acclaimed film and television editor who's worked on shows like Empire, Burn Notice, Glee and Cobra Kai. 🎙 We talked about AI, the metaphors and explanations I've discovered that make advanced machine learning easy to visualize for everybody, and what's coming for film, tech and other industries in the next year. ​Here's the full episode on the Optimize Yourself podcast.​ By the way, Zack has some incredible credits and I'll be sharing more of his work in the coming months – but if you are a fellow child of the '80s or '90s, you will understand why appearing as a guest on a podcast that's also hosted actors from Karate Kid and Super Troopers is basically the pinnacle of my life's work 🙂 This month is all about learning AI fast.If you're one of the 500+ people who responded to our survey on Sunday, thank you so much for your insights.
