Giant Robots Smashing Into Other Giant Robots

601: The thing that makes us human

January 29th, 2026

Chad and Will examine the ever expanding AI bubble and ponder on what we can expect it to see evolve in the coming years.

Our hosts discuss how they strike a balance with AI as they break down their current stacks and workflows, what will be left in the wake of the bubble’s collapse, and just where do Chad and Will draw the line with AI as they debate the ethics around it’s use.

You can find Chad regularly problem solving with AI on thoughtbot’s weekly stream over on our YouTube channel.

You can find Chad all over social media as @cpytel. You can also connect with the duo via their LinkedIn pages - Chad - Will
