Is AI taking our jobs?

Yihui and Thanos walked into a bar in Berlin and ranted about the world...this started out as a joke, but it became a true story! No, really, it's all about two people in Berlin who have a lot of ideas and thoughts about the world and want to share their - sometimes funny, sometimes serious - insights of more or less general but always important issues in the world. Like in a Kneipe, but without the Kneipe. And with philosophical, political and other -ical tone.

Who are we? Two nerds with different backgrounds (economics and engineering) but with a wide spectrum of interests and a shared curiosity about how things around us work and the need to understand them.

So, if you like to share our thoughts about everything that is going on and get a better image about what's the deal, you are in the right place. Disclaimer: Our opinions and observations are strictly our own and we embrace a diverse and open view of the world.
