Last week, our colleague (and frequent Oxide and Friends guest) Steve Klabnik made some new friends on the Internet with a blog entry on AI discourse. Bryan and Adam were joined by Steve to try to de-polarize the discussion a little.

In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by special guest, Steve Klabnik, and valued listener, Julian Giamblanco (aka "Oatmealdealer").

Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:

Steve's blog post: I am disappointed in the AI discourse
OxF: A Baseball Startup with Paul Freedman and Bryan Carmel (The Ballers)
OxF: Adversarial Machine Learning with Nicholas Carlini
OxF: Hiring Processes with Gergely Orosz ("the RFD 3 podcast episode")
OxF: AI Disruption: DeepSeek and Cerebras
OxF: Reflecting on Founder Mode ("ego con")

If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR! Our next show will likely be on Monday at 5p Pacific Time on our Discord server; stay tuned to our Mastodon feeds for details, or subscribe to this calendar. We'd love to have you join us, as we always love to hear from new speakers!
