Description Matt unpacks algorithmic news fatigue, debate theater, the $20 burrito argument, and why AI feels more like electricity than social media. He shares how he built software without knowing code, explains which jobs AI may replace first, and tells how a friend used AI to launch a booked-out lawnmower repair business in two months. ## TIMESTAMPS 00:00:00 The News Groundhog Day 00:03:13 Debate Theater 00:07:53 The $20 Burrito Economy 00:16:45 AI Is Electricity 00:24:47 Building Without Code 00:29:43 Forty Darts 00:33:35 Who Works for AI? 00:39:02 The Patient Teacher 00:42:32 Leaving the Loop
