Episode 6 - AI, Robot with Kai McAlister

In another first for the podcast, Evan has on his first guest host to the show - Kai McAlister, currently a toxicology and pharmacology PhD student at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Evan and Kai share an enduring friendship and mutual interest in extremely nerdy topics, including the subject of focus in today's episode: artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous vehicles (AV), also commonly known as driverless cars. Join us as we take a look at the possibility of the AI bubble soon bursting, and the impacts of AI and AV on society writ large.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ References/Additional Readinghttps://medium.com/@myequation/here-is-how-ai-bubble-is-created-aee673b100dd Kai’s reference to the chart detailing the relationship between various AI companies and Nvidia.https://www.morningstar.com/news/marketwatch/20250814149/the-entire-stock-market-is-being-carried-by-these-four-ai-stockshttps://www.allaboutai.com/resources/ai-statistics/ai-environment/https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/24/michael-burry-launches-newsletter-to-lay-out-his-ai-bubble-views-after-deregistering-hedge-fund.htmlhttps://apple.news/Avo9fS1GKSB6TFGXnRombgg Waymo operating cities, plans, and challenges ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you enjoy the show, and wish to help defray costs, feel free to give a tip on Ko-Fi, or on Buzzsprout.https://ko-fi.com/evanextemporaneoushttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2554066/supportAny such contribution is never necessary, but greatly appreciated.
