25: Lex Fridman, Sundar Pichai

I'm doing a podcast with @sundarpichai soon. Let me know if you have any questions / topic suggestions.

The rate of AI progress has been insane. It makes me excited for the future (even more than usual 🤣) and excited to chat with leaders & engineers who are building that…

Gave ChatGPT a list of interests. Asked for a list of jobs to consider.

Added that I was a woman. No additional info provided. New job list includes fashion.

Said I mistyped and was actually a man. No additional info provided. Fashion is replaced by engineering.
