#AIcareers #AgenticAI #AIconsulting For this episode #1001 special, the tables are turned: SuperDataScience founder Kirill Eremenko takes the host’s chair and @JonKrohnLearns is the guest. They trace Jon Krohn’s path from an Oxford neuroscience PhD to a New York hedge fund to founding the AI consulting firm Y Carrot, why he regrets leaving academia, and how tools like Claude Code erased his hard-won technical moat and why that makes skilled engineers more valuable than ever. Along the way: whether AI is a bubble, Jevons paradox and the data-center boom, the RICE framework for choosing AI projects, the single biggest reason AI projects fail, and how a well-built AI agent could give anyone “Christopher Nolan–like” focus.
