Episode 22: Adrian Png, Poetry, Skills and What Makes us Human in the Age of AI

Описание: In this episode of Take 2, Michelle sits down with long-time friend and Oracle ACE Director Adrian Ping for a thoughtful, sometimes unsettling, and often funny conversation about AI, creativity, and the future of developers.

They explore:

Why senior AI safety leaders are walking away from Big AI roles
How ads and commercial interests in LLMs could quietly shape our opinions
The surprising role of poetry as a way to reclaim human creativity
Adrian’s take on “skills, not agents” and why that might be the real AI trend for 2025+
Whether junior developer roles are disappearing—and what that means for the next generation
Mia’s story of Claude “losing patience” with her and when AI starts to feel human
Along the way, Adrian shares his experience working with Oracle Cloud, APEX, AI, and even a bit about life in Yukon, photographing the aurora borealis, and trying to stay warm at 18°C indoors.

If you care about AI, ethics, developers’ careers, and what still makes us uniquely human, this conversation is for you.
