In this episode, Davio Larnout talks with Nicolas Christiaen about building voice-first tools that actually get used, moving fast without overbuilding, and solving problems that show up in the real world — not on a slide deck. “We threw away most of what we built once we saw where the real problem was.” – Nicolas Christiaen
Host Davio Larnout sits down with Lieven Scheire, one of Belgium’s best-known science communicators. Lieven shares how stand-up comedy and curiosity led him to explain complex topics to broad audiences. Rather than just telling people how AI works, he shows how storytelling, live demos, and a bit of humor can make even neural networks click. From generating jokes with GPT to breaking down backpropagation, Lieven’s approach bridges science and entertainment in a way that sticks.
