Martin Lee Would Like Everyone to Go Outside

Show notes

Twenty-four hours before recording this episode, Martin Lee stopped being a Talos employee. Naturally, we made him come on the podcast anyway.

Martin talks about abandoning his early career aspirations of researching human viruses and curing cancer, so he could play on the internet. He also talks about how running very long distances in crazy conditions helps him to stop himself thinking about it. 

He has some words of wisdom for aspiring practitioners, and why the rest of us should occasionally close our laptops and venture outside...dangerous business, we reckon.

Plus: Does saying please and thank you improve an AI’s answers? What did Agatha Christie have against Bletchley? And how quickly can a $245 million cryptocurrency theft unravel when someone starts buying Lamborghinis at a rate of one a day?
