Tom's Story: to get through grad school, become a sperm whale

The Retort AI Podcast - A podcast by Thomas Krendl Gilbert and Nathan Lambert - Fridays

Categories:

We recovered this episode from the depth of lost podcast recordings! We carry on and Tom tells the story of his wonderful sociology turned AI Ph.D. at Berkeley. This comes with plenty of great commentary on the current state of the field and striving for impact. We cover the riverbank of Vienna, the heart of the sperm whale, and deep life lessons.
