I’m Done Pretending to Care About the News | Ep. 207
A raw stream-of-consciousness rant about why the news now feels like algorithmic Groundhog Day—and what deserves that energy instead. Matt moves from debate theater and the imaginary $20 burrito to AI as electricity, building software without knowing how to code, the jobs AI will hit first, and a friend who used it to build a booked-out lawnmower repair business in two months.
