253. AppHarvest's Bankruptcy, AI Job Risks, and Room-Temperature Superconductors
Manage episode 372732451 series 2240483
In this episode, Logan and Evan start by discussing the recent bankruptcy filing of AppHarvest and its efforts to reorganize and improve operational efficiency.
Next, they delve into the KY Solar project, an ambitious initiative to transform a former coal mine into a massive solar energy center.
They also share exciting news about a groundbreaking physics discovery—a new superconductor material called LK-99 that operates at room temperature, with potential applications in quantum computing and energy transmission.
Lastly, Logan and Evan shed light on a concerning report indicating that women are at a higher risk of AI job replacement, leading to a discussion on the impact of AI on workforce gender disparities.
