    Multiple Specialized Throbbing Brains: AI & Jobs, UBI, PSM

    This week I'm joined by Frank Kane, independent educator and one of the handful of people I know posting sane takes about AI on LinkedIn. We have the AI job loss conversation in the context of reporting that software engineer job listings are actually rising, go over recent developments in the realm of universal basic income (or similar things), and then talk about Anthropic's "Persona Selection Model" as a new framework for thinking about how LLM's work.
