AI Goes Down, Silicon Valley Gets Dark & Is Understanding Better Than Creativity?

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at the mysterious outages that hit OpenAI and Anthropic, and the strange lack of explanation about what actually caused them. Then we discussed the provocative idea of the “Nerd Reich” and growing concerns about a strain of Silicon Valley thinking that appears increasingly hostile towards democracy. Today’s unpopular opinion was: understanding is more valuable than creativity. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name a job where creativity is essential.
