    Is "Does it Need to Scale?" a Question We Should Ask More Regularly?

    Whilst at Google, Avery Pennarun realised that building for "Internet scale" made easy problems harder. So he left to build Tailscale, focusing on the long tail of developers who just need computers to connect. Avery talks about the need to ignore Silicon Valley's scale obsession (and how it paved the way for their success), and why removed *AI* from a tech strategy helps reveal the real issues.

    Are we Guilty of Treating Entertainment AI as Enterprise Tech?

    We are pouring billions of dollars into large language models, trusting them to reshape how our businesses operate. Yet, if you read the fine print on Microsoft's Copilot licensing agreement, you will find a startling admission: the tool is "intended only for entertainment". So why are leaders deploying a technology that, by default, cannot work reliably and completely obfuscates its own training data? In this episode, technologist and CTO Vaclav Vincalek exposes the dangerous disconnect between AI hype and verifiable reality. We explore the alarming "brain atrophy" among young users who have stopped critically assessing the information they are fed by AI tools. We also unpack the double standard of financial giants like JP Morgan, who deploy AI for thousands of general employees but strictly ban it on the trading floor, the one place where people are personally responsible for outcomes and mistakes mean losing the company or going to jail. Finally, Vaclav shares his vision for a new "personal web" designed to strip away algorithmic interference and give users total encrypted control over their own curated information.

    Is the Race to do More with AI Eroding Our Brainpower?

    AI can generate first drafts and code (and much more) in seconds, but is there a human cost to this abundance? In today’s episode David is joined by Metalab’s Design Director Myles Palmer. They discuss the changing (or evolving maybe?) role of designers, and unpack why AI is leaving us fatigued by 11am! The looming crisis in AI monetisation is also a topic increasingly spoken about, and that enters this conversation too.

    Brian Tanner Explains Why Video Games Are Actually AI’s Hardest Frontier

    We assume AI’s greatest test is in self-driving cars or robotics, but what if it’s actually inside video games? David Savage sits down with Artificial.Agency CEO Brian Tanner to explore how generative AI is shifting games from pre-scripted stories to living, reacting worlds. Discover why building gaming AI is surprisingly harder than real-world automation, and what happens when society gains access to super-intelligent personal assistants.

    Creative, Photography, and AI: VSCO are Arming Photographers with the Tools to Survive

    Generative AI is sparking fear across the creative industry, but VSCO CEO Eric Wittman argues that AI isn't the only threat to photographers, it’s also business acumen. In this episode, David Savage explores why the average professional photographer lasts just 2 to 3 years, how AI is actually becoming a creator's best thought partner, and the leadership lessons learned from embracing technological transformation rather than fearing it.

    Why Fintech Founders Are Scared to Sound Like "Just Another AI"

    Every fintech pitch deck claims to use AI, but are they just ticking a box for VCs? In this episode, Started PR founder Kimberley Waldron unpacks the tension between AI hype and real revenue. We explore why experienced founders are terrified of "AI washing", the looming cultural divide between human and silicon lifeforms, and how AI might actually solve global financial parity instead of just cutting corporate costs.

    Social media is flooded with viral videos of humanoid robots, but what happens when the cameras turn off? In this episode, David Savage sits down with Kacper Nowicki, CEO of Nomagic, to uncover the reality of "unhappy robots" gathering dust.

    When the 11th Hour Panic Starts, Are You Confident Your Compliance Will Pass the Test?

    Why do scaling tech companies wait until the 11th hour to care about governance and compliance? David Savage sits down with Scrut Automation’s Nick Muy to explore the panic that hits when a major enterprise deal is on the line. They unpack the realities of building trust, why there are no "magic wands" in compliance, and why the narrative that AI will eliminate jobs shows a complete lack of imagination.
