Baldur Bjarnason aka “Web dev at the end of the world” is an experienced web developer, author, and online writer based in Hveragerði, Iceland.

I have followed Baldur’s newsletter for a while now and enjoyed and found inspiration in his commentary, link dumps, and obligatory photos of cats and nature in Iceland. Baldur has very recently started a YouTube channel which is why I thought it would be a perfect timing to discuss the world situation on Futuristic Lawyer podcast.

We mainly talk about how (a) business leaders, (b) software developers, (c) politicians at the EU-level can approach AI, and namely the commercial pressure from the market to adopt AI as much and as quickly as possible.

Baldur is an informed AI skeptic and I concur with many of his viewpoints. Although I don’t think AI as a techno-political movement is inherently worthless, the excessive hype about AI on the internet and in capital markets is bound to end sourly for all -unfortunately.

I hope this conversation can contribute to taming the hype and unrealistic expectations.
