AI Takes #0: with Nicolas Pinto and Johan Mathe (French ML mafia)
"Sooooo... what's your take?"
You've got a hot take about AI. Maybe it's spicy. Maybe it's lukewarm. Maybe it's so radioactive it should be buried underground.
We want to hear it.
Step up. State your take. Watch the slider move.
"Determining AI risk is more faith than engineering." - 100% agree.
"MCP servers are the future." - 100% disagree.
"Real coders don't use agents." - ...we need to talk.
Panelists Nicolas Pinto and Johan Mathe will react, dissect, and roast (lovingly) while moderator Joseph Turian keeps the spaceship on course. You get 5 minutes to defend your position before the next audience member shares their take.
Bring receipts. Bring conviction. Bring takes so hot they set off the smoke detector.
🎙️ TBD: Streaming/livecast for remote hecklers
