Summary
The robots were supposed to do the dishes. Instead, they're writing poetry. Today, we're talking to Brian Alvey, CTO at WordPress VIP. We discuss why AI should be thought of as artificial creativity rather than artificial intelligence, how modern CTOs no longer need large teams to build and ship at scale, and why embracing shortcuts is the only rational response to the pace of technological change. All of this right here, right now, on the Modern CTO Podcast! To learn more about WordPress VIP, check out their website here.
