Episode snapshot

We've produced many episodes about artificial intelligence, but this one is unique. Our guest has a wealth of experience, having lived and studied in Jordan before moving to America, specifically to Silicon Valley, the epicenter of technology and artificial intelligence. He founded a company that has transformed the concept of programming worldwide! My guest for this episode is Amjad Masad, the founder and CEO of Replit. Amjad believes that the world doesn't need traditional programmers to create applications and websites; instead, anyone—even those without programming knowledge—can build an application or a website on their own using artificial intelligence. As Amjad explains, Replit will enable many people to bring their ideas and projects to life, thereby expanding entrepreneurship, especially in Arab countries. However, there remains a distinction between entrepreneurship in the Arab world and in the West, as we rarely hear about Arab companies achieving global recognition. What sets their environment apart from ours? And why does Amjad believe that artificial intelligence will have a brighter future in our region? This episode offers a fascinating discussion about the future of artificial intelligence, the fate of programmers and jobs, why major companies struggle to implement AI, and how they cope with its growing influence.

When discussing financial markets, stocks, and investments, we often focus on major topics like valuations, returns, financial indicators, and market cycles, while neglecting simpler questions that affect many people. One of the key questions is: what is the quickest way to achieve wealth? Are projects a reliable path to financial independence? Do they ensure financial freedom that allows one to be free from a job? Which is the better choice: entering the world of trading or investing? This episode compares trading and investing. With the rise of entrepreneurship, many have started new projects, but are they as straightforward as they seem? Is the risk worth it? --- • Al-Inma Financial offers a variety of products and services to meet your investment goals: https://thmanyah.co/inma1 • Sabl Group provides integrated logistical and geospatial solutions: https://thmanyah.link/spl1 • Download the "Radio Thmanyah" app: https://thmanyah.link/radio-arbah • Join the Al-Jubrain Economic Newsletter: https://thmanyah.link/dtzm • Follow Saudi championships and other original content on the Thmanyah app: https://thmanyah.link/app-arbah Anas Al-Rajhi's account on X: https://x.com/anas_s_alrajhi Saeed Abdul Jabbar's account on X: https://x.com/saeed_aj Thmanyah on Radio Thmanyah: https://thmanyah.link/i0qw Thmanyah website: https://thmanyah.link/fa44da Thmanyah Radio: https://thmanyah.link/af2741 Thmanyah on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thmanyah Thmanyah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thmanyah/ Thmanyah on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thmanyah Thmanyah on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Thmanyah/

Hassan Abu Alla is a poet from Jazan and a notable literary figure. He has made a name for himself in poetic expression by blending the authenticity of the Jazan environment with classical Arabic. Besides poetry, Abu Alla has a background in teaching, and he once expressed his frustrations by saying, "If they gave me a million for the lesson, I would not return to teaching!" This episode takes place in the garden of poet Hassan Abu Alla in Jazan, where he shares stories from his childhood in Beesh and his educational journey that led him to teaching, including his conflicts with the education director and school supervisors. He also discusses the heritage of the people of Jazan, their dances like the Azawi and the Zifa, and their circumcision rituals, noting that he was circumcised at the age of sixteen! Abu Alla did not publish his poetry until he was forty-seven, and he used to burn his old poems. So, why did he wait so long to publish? Despite his religious background, he admires Umm Kulthum and Abu Nuwas, even lamenting Umm Kulthum; what is the reason behind this? Why does he dislike modernist poetry and consider it empty? And what is the story behind his two imprisonments?
