Off the Clock w/Jon Eks
My name is Jon Eks and I spent more than a decade talking to people about work on the award-winning Jon of All Trades Podcast. I’m sick of talking about work. I want to talk about everything else in our lives. Men are traditionally not good at this. So, I’m talking to people I love, respect, and admire. I’m trying to embody the axiom “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Expect candor, vulnerability, profanity, and a wide range of topics.

#OTCQuickie: Why AI Will Never Take Over the World
#OTCQuickies are mini solo episodes where I address a question or a topic in service of trying to be a good dude in the world. Today's topic is:
Why AI Will Never Take Over the World
I read a piece in The Atlantic by Charlie Warzel called "AI Is a Mass Delusion Event," which inspired this Quickie. It's well-reasoned and well-written, and it triggered my memory from a couple of weeks ago of a recent rejection of a data center by City of Tucson. I reference a Tucson Sentinel story about it in this episode, which you can find here. One thing overlooked by both tech bros and the evangelical true believers is that for all their pie-in-the-sky posturing, they have one giant obstacle in front of them: Local governments who answer to their residents about how resources are allocated. This episode is worth 8 minutes of your time. Agree? Disagree? Drop me a note! Share the episode on your platforms!
