Sorry we’re a little late on this one. Busy time of the year and all that.
Nonetheless here’s three video that we thought you would enjoy getting the brain juices flowing. One recent one that jumped the queue so to speak, and then a couple from November that has helped us to deeper our AI knowledge and we think will help you too.

This may be one of the best documentaries of the year. Rather than explain much, you should just watch the whole thing.
With everything he’s got going on, Elon Musk still finds time to do these kinds of podcasts. I think it’s great, and any long form interview with him is worth the time because even if you don’t like him, his impact on the world right now is undeniable.
