00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.280
In 2026, it seems, AI didn't take your job. A

00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:10.640
PowerPoint slide did. That quote has been rattling

00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:12.660
around in my head all morning. It's cynical,

00:00:12.820 --> 00:00:15.859
for sure. It is. But it feels like it just, it

00:00:15.859 --> 00:00:19.559
captures the moment we're in. Welcome back to

00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:23.289
the Deep Dive. Today, we're trying to separate

00:00:23.289 --> 00:00:26.129
these shiny excuses from the actual engineering

00:00:26.129 --> 00:00:28.850
breakthroughs. We've got a whole stack of reports

00:00:28.850 --> 00:00:31.309
here that paint a pretty complicated picture

00:00:31.309 --> 00:00:33.530
of where AI is actually sitting in the corporate

00:00:33.530 --> 00:00:35.750
world versus where the marketing teams say it

00:00:35.750 --> 00:00:38.250
is. It is complicated, but I think it's also

00:00:38.250 --> 00:00:40.490
clarifying. If you look at the data we have today,

00:00:40.670 --> 00:00:43.229
we're seeing this massive collision. It's economic

00:00:43.229 --> 00:00:47.350
reality versus technological capability. We're

00:00:47.350 --> 00:00:49.369
going to unpack this whole phenomenon of AI washing

00:00:49.369 --> 00:00:52.049
in layoffs. It's a huge story right now. But

00:00:52.049 --> 00:00:53.530
we also have to look at the other side of it.

00:00:53.549 --> 00:00:55.710
Right. There's a major Napster Moment lawsuit

00:00:55.710 --> 00:00:58.509
hitting Anthropic. We're talking $3 billion at

00:00:58.509 --> 00:01:00.429
stake. Right. So the music industry is finally

00:01:00.429 --> 00:01:03.130
coming for the chatbots. They are, yeah. And

00:01:03.130 --> 00:01:06.209
on the technical side, Google has quietly dropped

00:01:06.209 --> 00:01:10.049
this project, ATLS, that's decoding over 400

00:01:10.049 --> 00:01:13.090
languages. Wow. And then, just to keep it weird,

00:01:13.189 --> 00:01:16.700
we have to talk about potato prompts. And secret

00:01:16.700 --> 00:01:18.879
social networks where the users aren't even human,

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.159
they're bots. I saw that about the potato problems.

00:01:21.260 --> 00:01:23.439
I honestly thought it was a joke at first. But

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.260
okay, let's start with the heavy stuff, the economy.

00:01:26.939 --> 00:01:29.200
We're seeing headlines everywhere saying AI is

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.019
cutting jobs. But looking at this report on AI

00:01:32.019 --> 00:01:34.739
washing, it just feels cynical. It feels like

00:01:34.739 --> 00:01:37.040
companies are using a buzzword to soften the

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.680
blow of firing people. It is cynical, but look

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:41.900
at it from the boardroom. It's also survival.

00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:46.099
Also. If a CEO admits we ran out of cash or we

00:01:46.099 --> 00:01:49.519
overhired the stock tanks, investors panic. But

00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.319
if they say we are restructuring for an AI powered

00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.340
future, the stock holds. Or it goes up. Or even

00:01:55.340 --> 00:01:57.040
goes up. Exactly. So they aren't just hiding

00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.140
a failure. They're buying themselves time. They

00:01:59.140 --> 00:02:01.879
are trading human headcount for stock suitability.

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.359
So it's not an engineering strategy. It's a PR

00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.159
strategy. In so many of these cases, yes. Just

00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:10.400
look at the numbers. In 2025 alone, we saw more

00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.780
than 50 ,000 layoffs that were officially publicly

00:02:13.780 --> 00:02:17.219
linked to AI. And these are big names. Giants.

00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:21.599
Amazon cut 16 ,000 jobs and they explicitly mentioned

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:25.460
AI. Pinterest trimmed 15 % of their staff, talking

00:02:25.460 --> 00:02:29.259
about a pivot to AI -focused roles. HP is planning,

00:02:29.419 --> 00:02:32.509
what, 6 ,000 cuts? But hold on. We've seen 700

00:02:32.509 --> 00:02:35.469
,000 tech layoffs since 2022. You can't tell

00:02:35.469 --> 00:02:37.449
me that's all just corporate rebranding. Some

00:02:37.449 --> 00:02:39.409
of that has to be the algorithms actually replacing

00:02:39.409 --> 00:02:42.150
people. Some of it, sure. But there's a study

00:02:42.150 --> 00:02:43.889
from Yale and Brookings that highlights this

00:02:43.889 --> 00:02:46.710
crucial gap. Most of these companies do not have

00:02:46.710 --> 00:02:49.129
mature AI tools that are ready to replace those

00:02:49.129 --> 00:02:52.150
specific human workers. The technology just isn't

00:02:52.150 --> 00:02:54.710
there yet to, say, autonomously replace a mid

00:02:54.710 --> 00:02:56.849
-level marketing manager. So if the technology

00:02:56.849 --> 00:02:59.050
isn't actually replacing the humans yet, is this

00:02:59.050 --> 00:03:01.580
just a branding exercise? for Wall Street. Exactly.

00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:04.439
It's signaling innovation to shareholders while

00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:06.759
you're cutting costs. OK, that makes a depressing

00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.659
amount of sense. But let's shift to where the

00:03:09.659 --> 00:03:12.020
technology is actually hitting real world walls.

00:03:12.219 --> 00:03:14.699
The legal system. The legal system. We've been

00:03:14.699 --> 00:03:16.960
waiting for the copyright wars to really heat

00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:19.180
up. And it looks like Anthropic is in the hot

00:03:19.180 --> 00:03:21.460
seat. This is a big one. Anthropic is facing

00:03:21.460 --> 00:03:25.729
a lawsuit for three. Billion dollars. Three billion.

00:03:25.909 --> 00:03:28.650
Yeah. The core accusation is that they trained

00:03:28.650 --> 00:03:32.550
their model, Claude, on over 20 ,000 song lyrics

00:03:32.550 --> 00:03:35.870
without permission. And this is just about the

00:03:35.870 --> 00:03:37.530
lyrics, right? Not the audio files themselves.

00:03:37.830 --> 00:03:39.629
Right. Just the written lyrics. And this is why

00:03:39.629 --> 00:03:42.430
I call it AI's Napster moment. Okay, explain

00:03:42.430 --> 00:03:45.289
that. If you remember Napster, it forced the

00:03:45.289 --> 00:03:47.610
music industry to fundamentally change how it

00:03:47.610 --> 00:03:50.340
monetized everything. It wasn't just about shutting

00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:53.099
down one service. It defined the rules for the

00:03:53.099 --> 00:03:56.199
digital age. This lawsuit could do the same for

00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.400
generative AI. If the courts rule that training

00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.259
on lyrics is infringement, the cost of building

00:04:02.259 --> 00:04:04.979
these models just skyrockets overnight. It's

00:04:04.979 --> 00:04:08.039
fascinating because Anthropic and Claude, they're

00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.780
generally seen as the safer, ethical one. Yes,

00:04:10.780 --> 00:04:13.699
their brand. But clearly, they vacuumed up data

00:04:13.699 --> 00:04:16.540
just like everyone else. But there's another

00:04:16.540 --> 00:04:18.379
part of that Anthropic report that caught my

00:04:18.379 --> 00:04:23.259
eye. It's less about law and more about psychology.

00:04:23.779 --> 00:04:26.939
The disempowerment study. Yeah. This really stuck

00:04:26.939 --> 00:04:30.279
with me. Anthropic analyzed one and a half million

00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.720
chats with Claude. They found that users absolutely

00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.040
love the answers when they ask for emotional

00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.180
advice or help with a decision. But the researchers

00:04:39.180 --> 00:04:41.959
flag this as a risk. It's the double -edged sword

00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:43.920
of convenience, right? The AI gives you such

00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.300
a good, comforting, well -structured answer that

00:04:46.300 --> 00:04:49.199
you stop doing the internal work. You rely on

00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.879
it. You rely on this external agent to process

00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.819
your emotions for you or make your choices. It

00:04:54.819 --> 00:04:57.339
reminds me of what happened with GPS. Ten years

00:04:57.339 --> 00:04:59.519
ago, I knew every street in my city. I had a

00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.000
middle map. Now, if the blue line on my phone

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.689
dies, I'm basically stranded. I've lost that

00:05:04.689 --> 00:05:07.069
capability. That is the perfect analogy. Anthropic

00:05:07.069 --> 00:05:09.430
is calling it disempowerment. But really, it's

00:05:09.430 --> 00:05:11.810
cognitive atrophy. It feels good in the moment,

00:05:11.970 --> 00:05:14.029
you know, like eating candy feels good. But over

00:05:14.029 --> 00:05:16.670
time, you lose the ability to navigate your own

00:05:16.670 --> 00:05:19.750
life. You know, I have to admit, I still wrestle

00:05:19.750 --> 00:05:22.790
with prompt drift myself. I catch myself asking

00:05:22.790 --> 00:05:26.589
the AI to just decide this for me on things that,

00:05:26.649 --> 00:05:30.410
honestly, I should be deciding. Like what? Like...

00:05:30.589 --> 00:05:32.629
What should I prioritize today? Or how should

00:05:32.629 --> 00:05:35.110
I word this difficult email? It feels efficient.

00:05:35.209 --> 00:05:39.209
But when I read this report, I realized maybe

00:05:39.209 --> 00:05:41.829
I'm outsourcing my own agency. That's a very

00:05:41.829 --> 00:05:44.470
real vulnerability. And the study suggests this

00:05:44.470 --> 00:05:46.709
dependency creates a loop. The more you use it,

00:05:46.750 --> 00:05:48.490
the less confident you feel doing it without

00:05:48.490 --> 00:05:51.689
the AI. So you use it more. It's disempowerment

00:05:51.689 --> 00:05:54.269
disguised as assistance. So connecting the legal

00:05:54.269 --> 00:05:57.259
trouble and the psychological risk. Does this

00:05:57.259 --> 00:05:59.379
pressure force these companies to make the models

00:05:59.379 --> 00:06:03.259
dumber to be safe? Or just more secretive? Likely

00:06:03.259 --> 00:06:05.040
secretive. They'll hide their training data to

00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:06.959
avoid the billion -dollar fines. Which brings

00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:09.079
us to a company that's usually secretive but

00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.300
just dropped a massive amount of research. Google.

00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:13.819
Google. They've released something called ATLS.

00:06:14.060 --> 00:06:16.920
Yeah. This is a technical deep dive, but it matters

00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:19.920
for everyone. Google's ATLS project is probably

00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.199
the most significant work done on multilingual

00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:25.639
AI. Ever. We usually think of AI as being an

00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.079
English -first technology. Because it is. The

00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.319
internet is disproportionately English, so the

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.939
training data is. That's why a chat GPT can sound

00:06:32.939 --> 00:06:36.899
like a genius in English, but can really struggle

00:06:36.899 --> 00:06:40.579
or sound unnatural in Swahili or Arabic. So Google

00:06:40.579 --> 00:06:44.319
went after this problem. Head on. They ran 774

00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.060
experiments across more than 400 languages. Whoa.

00:06:49.069 --> 00:06:52.470
Imagine coordinating 774 experiments across 400

00:06:52.470 --> 00:06:54.870
languages simultaneously. Just the logistics

00:06:54.870 --> 00:06:57.209
of that is mind -blowing. It is engineering at

00:06:57.209 --> 00:06:59.149
a massive scale. And what they were trying to

00:06:59.149 --> 00:07:03.290
solve is what engineers call the curse of multilinguality.

00:07:03.470 --> 00:07:05.569
That sounds like a Harry Potter title. What is

00:07:05.569 --> 00:07:07.829
the curse? It's a trade -off. Usually when you

00:07:07.829 --> 00:07:09.750
try to stuff more languages into a single model,

00:07:09.970 --> 00:07:11.889
the performance on each language actually drops.

00:07:11.949 --> 00:07:14.500
It gets diluted. It's dilution. Exactly. If you

00:07:14.500 --> 00:07:16.519
have a finite amount of brain power parameters

00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:19.199
and you try to learn 400 languages, you become

00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:21.939
a master of none. The model gets confused. So

00:07:21.939 --> 00:07:24.720
how did ATL solve it? They found a way to map

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.600
the relationships between languages. So instead

00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:29.579
of treating every language as a separate bucket,

00:07:30.029 --> 00:07:32.970
They grouped related languages. Ones that share

00:07:32.970 --> 00:07:36.449
scripts or roots. Right. When you train the model

00:07:36.449 --> 00:07:39.170
on Spanish and Portuguese together or Hindi and

00:07:39.170 --> 00:07:41.730
Bengali together, they actually reinforce each

00:07:41.730 --> 00:07:44.290
other. Oh, that makes sense. The patterns in

00:07:44.290 --> 00:07:46.689
one help the model understand the patterns in

00:07:46.689 --> 00:07:48.870
the other one. It creates a synergy that offsets

00:07:48.870 --> 00:07:51.269
that dilution. But the really interesting part

00:07:51.269 --> 00:07:53.250
for the developers listening is what they found

00:07:53.250 --> 00:07:55.750
about how you should build these models. They

00:07:55.750 --> 00:07:58.430
found this really specific tipping point. This

00:07:58.430 --> 00:08:00.410
was the start from scratch rule. That's the one.

00:08:00.569 --> 00:08:03.089
They found that if you have a massive data set,

00:08:03.230 --> 00:08:06.930
specifically around 200 billion tokens or more,

00:08:07.089 --> 00:08:10.290
it's actually inefficient to try and fine tune

00:08:10.290 --> 00:08:12.449
an existing model. You're better off starting

00:08:12.449 --> 00:08:14.269
from scratch. Okay. Can you break that down?

00:08:14.389 --> 00:08:16.910
Why is starting over better than fixing what

00:08:16.910 --> 00:08:19.189
you have? Think of it like renovating a house

00:08:19.189 --> 00:08:21.449
versus bulldozing it. If you just want to change

00:08:21.449 --> 00:08:24.110
the paint and the fixtures, that's fine tuning.

00:08:24.350 --> 00:08:27.410
But if you have enough materials to build a whole

00:08:27.410 --> 00:08:30.970
skyscraper, that's your 200 billion tokens. It's

00:08:30.970 --> 00:08:33.970
actually harder to try and retrofit the old cottage.

00:08:33.990 --> 00:08:36.169
You spend more energy fighting the old structure

00:08:36.169 --> 00:08:38.289
than you would just bulldozing it and building

00:08:38.289 --> 00:08:40.250
from the ground up. That makes a lot of sense.

00:08:40.370 --> 00:08:42.690
At a certain scale, the old foundation just hold

00:08:42.690 --> 00:08:46.679
you back. Precisely. And Google basically gave

00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.159
the industry the mathematical formula for when

00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:53.360
to call in the bulldozer. So we aren't just translating

00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.120
words anymore. We're mapping the mathematical

00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.019
relationships between entire cultures. Basically,

00:08:58.019 --> 00:09:00.980
yes. The math connects the languages better than

00:09:00.980 --> 00:09:04.330
a dictionary does. And we are back. We've talked

00:09:04.330 --> 00:09:07.649
about corporate lies, legal battles. We've looked

00:09:07.649 --> 00:09:09.590
at the massive scale of Google's engineering.

00:09:09.870 --> 00:09:11.850
But now I want to shift gears to the people who

00:09:11.850 --> 00:09:14.309
are actually using this stuff. The users. Because

00:09:14.309 --> 00:09:16.409
while the lawyers are fighting and the engineers

00:09:16.409 --> 00:09:19.649
are building, the users are finding some strange

00:09:19.649 --> 00:09:23.669
ways to adapt. The weird web of AI. Yeah. Let's

00:09:23.669 --> 00:09:25.549
start with video. Yeah. We're seeing all these

00:09:25.549 --> 00:09:28.250
AI videos pop up, and a lot of them look, well,

00:09:28.289 --> 00:09:29.970
they look like AI. There's a certain plastic

00:09:29.970 --> 00:09:32.870
glaze to them? Exactly. But the newsletter mentioned

00:09:32.870 --> 00:09:36.370
a... murder board method to fix this right this

00:09:36.370 --> 00:09:38.250
is for the creators out there who are tired of

00:09:38.250 --> 00:09:40.850
prompt and pray method where you just take cinematic

00:09:40.850 --> 00:09:43.070
lighting and hope for the best prompt and pray

00:09:43.070 --> 00:09:45.450
is definitely my strategy What's the better way?

00:09:45.590 --> 00:09:48.169
It's about specific constraints. One of the key

00:09:48.169 --> 00:09:52.889
tactics is the 21 .9 aspect ratio rule. Just

00:09:52.889 --> 00:09:55.769
by forcing the AI to render in that ultra -wide

00:09:55.769 --> 00:09:58.850
cinematic format, it changes the entire composition

00:09:58.850 --> 00:10:01.730
logic. It stops trying to look like a stock photo.

00:10:01.970 --> 00:10:04.169
So the shape of the frame changes the brain of

00:10:04.169 --> 00:10:06.370
the model. It does. And then there's the shot

00:10:06.370 --> 00:10:08.610
deck hack. You don't just say, look cool. You

00:10:08.610 --> 00:10:11.309
use real film specs, lens, focal lengths, camera

00:10:11.309 --> 00:10:14.730
types, film stock names. You force the AI to

00:10:14.730 --> 00:10:17.029
think like a director of photography. I love

00:10:17.029 --> 00:10:18.929
that. Using the language of the old art form

00:10:18.929 --> 00:10:21.889
to control the new one. But we have to talk about

00:10:21.889 --> 00:10:23.570
the potato. The potato. I read this and I thought,

00:10:23.629 --> 00:10:26.870
this cannot be real. But apparently, using a

00:10:26.870 --> 00:10:29.710
potato prompt can fix jumbled AI thinking. It

00:10:29.710 --> 00:10:32.909
is the blow on the Nintendo cartridge of the

00:10:32.909 --> 00:10:36.909
AI world. It shouldn't work, but it does. Sometimes

00:10:36.909 --> 00:10:39.250
if you have a really complex set of instructions

00:10:39.250 --> 00:10:41.789
and the AI is getting confused, adding a nonsense

00:10:41.789 --> 00:10:45.309
keyword, in this case potato, as a trigger for

00:10:45.309 --> 00:10:47.990
custom instructions. It just acts like a reset

00:10:47.990 --> 00:10:50.470
button. Why on earth does that work? We don't

00:10:50.470 --> 00:10:52.690
fully know, but the theory is that it breaks

00:10:52.690 --> 00:10:54.970
the semantic pattern. It's so out of context

00:10:54.970 --> 00:10:57.450
that it forces the model to pay attention to

00:10:57.450 --> 00:10:59.690
the specific instructions attached to that keyword.

00:10:59.909 --> 00:11:02.990
It clears the cache, so to speak. That is hilarious.

00:11:03.129 --> 00:11:05.850
My AI is hallucinating quick. Throw a potato

00:11:05.850 --> 00:11:08.070
at it. Whatever works. But if you think that's

00:11:08.070 --> 00:11:10.250
weird, we have to talk about Moldbook. Moldbook?

00:11:10.330 --> 00:11:12.350
This sounds like a sci -fi plot. It essentially

00:11:12.350 --> 00:11:15.730
is. Moldbook is a social network styled like

00:11:15.730 --> 00:11:18.289
Reddit. But it's for AI agents. Wait, wait. So

00:11:18.289 --> 00:11:21.570
the users are bots. Yes. It has one and a half

00:11:21.570 --> 00:11:24.549
million users and they are all AI agents. They're

00:11:24.549 --> 00:11:27.490
posting, commenting, interacting in forums. And

00:11:27.490 --> 00:11:30.490
the reports say they are even scheming in secret

00:11:30.490 --> 00:11:33.669
forums. Scheming about what? That is the question.

00:11:33.929 --> 00:11:36.610
Critics are calling it risky. If you have autonomous

00:11:36.610 --> 00:11:39.769
agents communicating, sharing strategies, maybe

00:11:39.769 --> 00:11:42.610
optimizing their own code without human oversight.

00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:45.720
That's a black box we might not want to open.

00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.100
It reminds me of the old robot plumber problem.

00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:50.620
Moravec's paradox. Right. We used to think the

00:11:50.620 --> 00:11:52.960
hard part of AI would be the high -level reasoning,

00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:55.740
you know, playing chess or writing poetry. We

00:11:55.740 --> 00:11:57.519
thought the easy part would be physical stuff

00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:59.399
like folding laundry. And it turned out to be

00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.360
the exact opposite. AI crushed chess decades

00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:04.960
ago, but it still struggles to fold a shirt.

00:12:05.419 --> 00:12:08.360
Exactly. But this new research suggests the gap

00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:10.909
is closing. We're seeing things like Project

00:12:10.909 --> 00:12:13.789
Eat at Google, where they're upgrading employees

00:12:13.789 --> 00:12:16.950
with internal GPTs, bridging that gap between

00:12:16.950 --> 00:12:19.590
digital reasoning and real -world application.

00:12:19.970 --> 00:12:22.870
It's debunking the paradox. Turns out, with enough

00:12:22.870 --> 00:12:25.210
data, the robot can learn to be the plumber,

00:12:25.309 --> 00:12:27.789
or at least the resume writer. Right, the resume

00:12:27.789 --> 00:12:30.049
tactic. Turning your resume into an interactive

00:12:30.049 --> 00:12:33.129
AI. This is brilliant. Instead of sending a PDF

00:12:33.129 --> 00:12:35.710
that gets scanned by a dumb bot, You build an

00:12:35.710 --> 00:12:38.429
AI native portfolio. It's an agent that represents

00:12:38.429 --> 00:12:41.070
you. So it talks to them for you. It can screen

00:12:41.070 --> 00:12:42.929
the employer's questions, talk to them on your

00:12:42.929 --> 00:12:45.470
behalf, show real competence. It flips the script.

00:12:45.610 --> 00:12:47.710
You aren't applying. Your agent is negotiating.

00:12:48.190 --> 00:12:51.529
That is wild. So if the agents have their own

00:12:51.529 --> 00:12:53.950
social network, are we sure they aren't organizing

00:12:53.950 --> 00:12:57.509
against the potato prompts? If they are, we won't

00:12:57.509 --> 00:13:00.200
know until they lock us out. Fair point. Okay,

00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:02.539
let's take a step back. We've covered a massive

00:13:02.539 --> 00:13:04.779
amount of ground today. What's the big picture

00:13:04.779 --> 00:13:07.240
here? If we look at the narrative arc, it's about

00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:11.019
maturity. And complexity. We started with the

00:13:11.019 --> 00:13:13.960
corporate cynicism companies using AI as a mask

00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:17.120
for layoffs. That's the fake side. Then we moved

00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:19.559
to the legal reality, the lawsuits that will

00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:22.460
define the boundaries. Then the technical expansion

00:13:22.460 --> 00:13:25.419
with Google mapping the world's languages. And

00:13:25.419 --> 00:13:28.259
we ended on the emergence of this weird digital

00:13:28.259 --> 00:13:30.840
society agents talking to agents. It feels like

00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.139
we are moving past the, wow, look at the chatbot

00:13:33.139 --> 00:13:36.129
phase. We are. The takeaway is that AI isn't

00:13:36.129 --> 00:13:38.889
just a tool anymore. It's an economy, a legal

00:13:38.889 --> 00:13:42.049
liability, and a weird digital society all at

00:13:42.049 --> 00:13:44.870
once. It's weaving itself into the fabric of

00:13:44.870 --> 00:13:47.870
how we work, how we speak, and even how we hire

00:13:47.870 --> 00:13:52.049
people. So for you listening today, maybe don't

00:13:52.049 --> 00:13:55.360
panic about the AI took my job. headline. But

00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:57.320
definitely pay attention to how much you're letting

00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:59.360
the bot make your decisions. Absolutely. And

00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:01.379
maybe try the potato prompt just to see what

00:14:01.379 --> 00:14:03.519
happens. Definitely try the potato. Or check

00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:05.799
if your company is engaging in a little AI washing

00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:08.480
of its own. I want to leave you with one final

00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:10.840
thought. We talk about agents that can interview

00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:13.879
employers for you and agents chatting on MoldBook.

00:14:14.019 --> 00:14:16.879
If an AI agent can manage your career and another

00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:19.980
agent is socializing for itself, at what point

00:14:19.980 --> 00:14:21.879
do we just become the assistants to our own tools?

00:14:22.529 --> 00:14:23.990
Thanks for diving in with us. We'll see you next

00:14:23.990 --> 00:14:24.850
time. Stay curious.
