Скачать или смотреть Episode 54: AI Slop, Enshittification & Authenticity with Senior Tech Leader Shriram Parthasarathy

There's so much anxiety about AI and Jobs -- tune out the noise as much as you can and look to build, go deep and learn what you need to. On this episode of the Say Again Podcast, host Amrita Tripathi speaks to senior Tech Leader Shriram Parthasarathy, who spent close to 13 years at Microsoft including most recently as Global Marketing Operations leader for Asia.

The conversation covers topics ranging from AI slop and what's been called the 'enshittification' of the user experience... to how platforms can re-optimise and prioritise great content, much like the Google era re-defined search. Shri shares some of his own professional journey and milestones as well as how he re-frames his own goals, and why he's not the New Year's resolution kind of guy. He also talks about resilience, being born with a visual impairment, and describes himself as blind by sight not vision. There's a lot to pack into this episode including some fantastic recommendations so tune in and enjoy a fascinating chat.
