“Where are the good AI products?” asks Varun Shenoy, ML engineer in his latest blog post. Varun and I talk through:

• What are the cool applications that exist? Why aren't there more of them?
• What do (the few) good AI application companies have in common?
• What technological or societal leaps are blocking the existence of more AI apps that matter?
• The optimist case and the pessimist case for the near future of AI. As Varun puts it, what if the emperor has no clothes?
