Jason had pneumonia when he recorded this very long pod with Inger.

It's a testament to his brainy-ness (and Inger's sound engineering skills) that it turned out as well as it did, given he coughed and sweated his way through it.

Warning: in the chat section at the top there's a lot of talk about TEQSA. If you're confused, here's their webpage. Jason was too sick to do mailbag, but please keep sending in your letters and speak pipes!

At we switch to our work problems section (26:04) Large Language Models (LLMs) - we recommend you have a look at our Discussion Guide as we talk, or after you get back from your walk/gardening/gym/cooking or what every you are doing. You can read the briefing note that Inger wrote for her boss here.

We skip the reading section and coast out with some two minute tips (1:38:22) for planning large complex tasks and reading all the instructions before you start doing a thing.

The good news is that Jason did not die of his pneumonia and is back on his feet again - phew!
