Here's my conversation with Terence Tao, one of the greatest mathematicians in history. We talk about the hardest problems in mathematics & physics, and how AI might help us humans to solve them. This conversation was a huge honor for me. I can't quite put it into words, but once again I'm grateful for whatever simulation code resulted in me having the life I do 🙏 To further confirm simulation, podcast length accidentally turned out to be 3:14 (pi=3.141592). But it's not 3:14:15, because the simulation code has some bugs 🤣 Podcast is here on X in full, and is up everywhere else (see comment).

Here's my conversation with Jennifer Burns (Jennifer Burns), a historian specializing in the evolution of economics & political ideas over the past 100 years. She wrote two great biographies: one on Milton Friedman and one on Ayn Rand. This is a super-technical deep-dive on econonmics, capitalism, and ideas of freedom in general. Also, at the end of the episode (in the outro), I reflect on my conversation with President Zelenskyy. The full episode is here on X and everywhere else. Links in comment.
