Otto Talks | Episode 31

This week:

• This Week's Reading: Two articles: one on small actions and the slow accumulation of luck; another on how AI is quietly reshaping the working world, one unremarkable Tuesday at a time
• Realisation of the Week: On still playing football in your mid-thirties, the indignity of patellar tendinitis, and whether the golf era is finally upon us
• What I'm Consuming: Louis Theroux's Manosphere doc, Love is Blind Ohio, and the return of NRL & AFL
• What Does That Even Mean?: A look at Anthropic's new report on AI exposure by industry, and my backup career plan involving snow peas and greenkeeping

Thanks for listening!

Apologies in advance as the vacuum cleaner makes repeated appearances in this episode.

If you would rather read these musings, head over here.

Anyway, a great week spent:

• In Auckland,
• Learning about "AI Companionship", and
• thoroughly embarrassing myself at a community gathering...

Hope you enjoy!

Lovely hot sunshine and heavy rain combo this week. It's at this point every year I remember that Australia is not my natural habitat.

Some fun and games this week:

• More AI-spiralling,
• Fishing (successfully!), and
• Watching too much Netflix as always..

Dad and Christine have left the building and successfully returned to the rainy motherland.

Action packed week in which I have spoken to:

• Spoken to random local people,
• Been invited for Yum Cha, and
• Finished the first season of The Pitt (comfortably my favourite show since Slow Horses Season 1...)

We're taking on water in Sydney this week but despite the substantial downpours, there is a ray of sunshine in a visit from the Thoresen-Montgomery clan!

Other than that it has been a week of:

• humbling yoga experiences
• football with optimists, and
• questioning why "Heated Rivalry" is even a thing...
