Welcome to Episode 121: "How Not to Ask for an Internship (and Some Rambling)." This week, you're getting a double dose of Sean and Dheepak's random ramblings, as we've actually mish-mashed two episodes together into one!

We dive into the often-awkward world of seeking internships and share some hilariously bad examples of how not to approach it. Beyond the internship blunders, the second part of the episode shifts gears to the fascinating (and sometimes terrifying) world of Artificial Intelligence. We get philosophical, discussing why, like it or not, this world is ultimately one big competition. Tune in for some laughs, some life lessons, and probably a few tangents along the way! We talk about Dara, Bill Burr and Jimmy Carr too.

Episode 120 is a wild ride, starting with the heavy rains that brought Bangalore to a standstill! We then immediately get sidetracked by the new video from Boston Dynamics, "New in Spot & Orbit 5.5." Our conversation quickly escalates into a passionate (and slightly terrified) discussion about the progress of robotics in the restaurant business – a topic that inevitably leads to the chilling thought: are these robotic dogs going to rise up?!

We then pivot to how Apple, through its manufacturing in China, may have inadvertently helped train Chinese expertise in building iPhones, which we argue are essentially "smartphones on wheels" (i.e., EVs), with potential defense applications like drones. We reference Patrick McGee's insightful "Apple in China."

As usual, our minds wander, and we touch upon the critical issue of drinking water availability in both Mexico and India. Finally, we tackle the elephant in the room: what do we do with the millions of people who will lose their jobs to AI? Should we be addressing this massive societal shift before the gap becomes so large it causes widespread unrest? Tune in for a sprawling, slightly manic, and deeply relevant conversation!

¡Hola from Guanajuato, Mexico! Episode 119 takes us south of the border this week. Pak has decided to embrace the Mexican summer (and his Indian immigrant roots?) by shaving his head. Meanwhile, Sean proudly marks his 5th country where he's recorded the podcast!

While we couldn't completely escape it, we did touch upon the latest political happenings in Oklahoma. However, the main focus of this episode is Sean's burgeoning retirement dreams, specifically centered around the captivating former silver mining state of Guanajuato, Mexico. We explore the charm, history, and potential of this beautiful region. So grab a cerveza and join us for a taste of Mexico!
