In today's episode, we dive deep into the world of artificial intelligence, starting with a basic understanding of AI and the pivotal role of AI Engineers. We explore the pressing question: "Is AI going to take my job?" and differentiate between answer engines and search engines, highlighting their impacts on how we find information.

Transitioning into web development, our discussion shifts towards CSS, covering advanced topics like view transitions, container queries, the :has selector, dynamic viewport units, and the debate on the necessity of JavaScript (JS) when CSS can offer powerful solutions.

Further, we delve into the latest JavaScript updates, including the introduction of `Object.groupBy`, immutable array methods, and exciting new tools and frameworks like vlt (new npm), Bun, Tauri 2.0, and a discussion on modern JavaScript frameworks including Signals, Qwik, and React Forget, focusing on bundle size optimization.

We also cover significant HTML developments, such as OpenUI, the new `selectmenu` and `popover` elements, the `dialog` element, and HTMX, offering insights into how these advancements are shaping the future of web development.

Wrapping up, we conclude with reflections on the topics covered and their implications for developers and the broader tech community. Join us for an informative journey through the latest in AI and web development.
