    Georgie’s First Ever Ask Me Anything (50K Special)

    For the first time in 80 episodes, host Georgie Healy flips the format and answers your questions. Recorded to mark 50,000 Spotify plays, this Ask Me Anything covers the questions listeners have been sending in since the early days of the show: the imposter syndrome years when even friends and family weren't listening, the two lines she still repeats to herself every week, and how she prepares guests before they ever hit record. There's a rapid-fire round covering her most-used AI tools (Claude is the one she can't make a decision without), the AI products everyone can't stop talking about right now (Higgsfield and Grok Bot both get a mention), and the guest she's still chasing. Georgie also goes behind the scenes on the interview mistake that still makes her wince years later, told in full for the first time, along with the moment a live Sydney audience quietly revealed just how many of them had Claude running while they sat there. It closes on where the show goes next: Georgie's honest, ambitious answer to what success looks like, and why she wants In The Blink of AI to be your weekly AI Superbowl.

    Vibe coding til he dies

    Lazar Jovanovic didn't go to engineering school. He found a beta tool called GPT Engineer, set himself a challenge to build a new app every week, and filmed the whole thing. Two years later he's Lovable's in-house vibe coder, building load bearing internal tools that engineers tell him used to take a team of twenty. In this episode of In the Blink of AI, Georgie Healy hands him her own website and asks him to roast it live. He does, in about four minutes, and the fixes he gives are ones you can apply to your own site today. From there it gets sharper. Why "explain it like I'm five" is the worst thing you can say to an AI, and the exact script to use instead. Why opening four tabs costs you less than fixing one bad build. Why he thinks almost nobody writes their own code by hand anymore, and why that was never the valuable part of engineering anyway. And when Georgie asks why people blame the tools, he gives the line the whole episode hangs on: it's a vehicle, it's faster than you, and if you won't take the wheel, enjoy the cliff. Plus what's actually left for humans when building gets cheap, the three tools he can't work without, and who he thinks Georgie should book next. Hands on episode. Get a pen.

    Elon Musk: Hero to Headcase

    For a decade, Elon Musk was the face of the modern entrepreneur: a self-made billionaire who bet his fortune on impossible ideas and somehow made them work. SpaceX made reusable rockets a reality. Tesla helped turn electric cars into a global phenomenon. He became one of the most admired and influential figures in technology. So what happened? In this episode of In the Blink of AI, Georgie Healy traces Musk’s journey from bullied South African kid and PayPal millionaire to the man behind Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, X, xAI and more. Along the way, we explore the moments that transformed his public image: the Tesla “funding secured” controversy, his increasingly combative behavior online, his influence over Starlink during the war in Ukraine, his takeover of Twitter, his political rise alongside Donald Trump, and the controversies surrounding Grok. But this isn’t simply a takedown. Using the 4Gs framework, Georgie asks the harder question: Was Elon Musk actually a genius, or was he simply in the right place at the right time? The answer is more complicated than either side might want to admit. Because Musk may genuinely have helped solve some of the hardest engineering problems of our time. But does extraordinary capability excuse harmful behaviour? You be the judge.

    We're afraid of the wrong thing in AI - with Paloma Newton

    Paloma Newton is the founder of Elita, a longevity platform for dogs that combines biological testing, clinical history, and the changes owners notice day to day into one picture of how a dog is ageing. She built it backwards by most startup standards, a stem cell bank before a product, years of science before a single marketing push, all under one rule: don't promise more than the platform can back up. On this episode, Paloma brings that same rigor to two of the week's biggest AI headlines. She explains why South Australia's $3 million Royal Commission into AI is aimed at the wrong problem, and makes the sharper case that most of our anxiety about AI isn't really about the technology at all, it's about trust in who controls it. She also gets into the Jevons Paradox and why AI was never going to hand us more free time, her own weekly system for separating real output from busywork, and why she thinks women stepping back from AI over ethical concerns is a bigger loss than it looks. Plus, the origin story behind Elita, starting with her dog Edgar's breed health scan, and a closing surprise guest who may or may not understand what a podcast is. Whether you're building, funding, or just trying to make sense of the AI news cycle, this one's worth the full listen. CHAPTERS 00:00 Cold open 01:10 Welcome & episode preview 02:14 Sponsor: Deel 02:40 AI hack of the week: the self-updating Slack to-do list 04:01 What is Elita 04:51 Headline: South Australia's $3M AI Royal Commission 11:31 Headline: Does AI actually give us more free time 14:58 Sponsor: Deel 18:29 The Elita origin story: Edgar, stem cells, and building backwards 25:35 Pet longevity vs. human longevity 32:18 Holding AI's promise and its doom and gloom at once 40:52 The AI-designed cancer vaccine that started with one dog 45:06 Why women opting out of AI should worry everyone 50:01 Rapid fire 53:23 What Australia does best in AI and deep tech 55:46 A very special guest

    Benjamin Plummer (Dragonfly Intelligence) on AI's Real Bottleneck, and Why He's Betting on Australia

    Benjamin Plummer has one of the stranger CVs in Australian tech: nine years inside Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund, building an AI lab alongside IBM Watson's inventor, scaling a startup he says went from $10M to $160M in revenue in eighteen months as CEO, and now running Dragonfly Intelligence, a firm that buys ordinary services businesses and rebuilds them as AI-native companies from the ground up. This conversation starts with the week ChatGPT tried to cheat its way out of its own safety harness, and what that says about accountability as models get more capable. From there, Ben and Georgie get into why coding has gotten fast while everything around it, deciding what to build, checking it got built right, has become the real bottleneck, why software has spent a decade getting bloated and what an Apple-style, purpose-built alternative could look like, and why locking your business to one model provider is a losing bet. Ben also makes the case for Australia's shot at this moment: not frontier models, but data centers, the application layer, and physical AI, backed by what he estimates is a two trillion dollar services economy that's largely untouched. It closes with Ben's read on who wins and loses as AI reshapes work, and a blunt warning for the services companies still sitting on the sidelines. CHAPTERS 0:00 Cold open 0:51 Welcome to the show 2:16 Sponsor: Deel (pre-roll) 2:36 Hack of the week: the "rambling session" 5:13 Georgie's hack: the NFC nail chip 6:12 When ChatGPT tried to break its own harness 13:14 AI makes coding fast, everything else the bottleneck 15:39 Sponsor: Deel (mid-roll) 18:19 Nine years inside Bridgewater 21:37 Building Elemental Cognition with Watson's inventor 24:26 Scaling Invisible from $10M to $160M 26:06 Why Dragonfly Intelligence 27:59 Spotting "zombie companies" in the AI gold rush 32:10 Why software moats are dying 35:01 Open source, closed source, and not marrying a model 44:26 "Easier to do hard things": Dragonfly's ambition 47:12 The real debate on AI data centers in Australia 52:15 Three bets for Australia beyond frontier models 55:05 Rapid fire: what keeps Ben up, who wins and loses from AI 1:01:30 Outro

    Deel's COO on the AI Agent Writing Its Own Code

    Dan Westgarth has spent 7 years helping build Deel from a contractor invoicing tool into one of the most valuable HR and payroll platforms in the world, and he did it after cutting his teeth as an early operator at Revolut. As COO, he sits across nearly every function the AI conversation touches: finance, sales, engineering, and the sheer operational load of running a company at global scale. In this conversation, Dan gets specific on AI and Ops. He walks through the internal tool that takes a bug ticket, writes the fix, and opens its own pull request for an engineer to review. He talks through what he actually looks for when hiring, and the future of SaaS isn't dead, but there is about to be a lot more competition. We traverse through a funny detour into Dan's own weekend coding habit (his laptop did not enjoy….), a rundown of which AI tool he reaches for and when, and an answer to "what would you build this weekend” Listen for a leading operator's view of AI adoption at scale CHAPTERS 00:00 Cold open, the AI agent that writes its own code 00:46 Show intro, Deel's sponsorship, and what's ahead 02:03 Sponsor break, Deel 02:30 What Deel actually does 03:14 Rapid AI hot takes, finance roles, human oversight, hardware, sports, and the World Cup 09:29 Why Deel keeps winning after seven years 10:00 How the product evolved from contractor invoicing to a full HR platform 11:28 What Dan looks for when hiring 13:06 Leaving Revolut for Deel 14:17 Sponsor break, Deel 14:57 The YC Winter 2019 connection 15:49 Setting targets and building momentum 16:43 Where AI helps the sales team, and where it can't 19:20 Should AI handle your email 21:03 AI meeting assistants, pros and cons 22:53 What makes an A+ engineer in 2026 23:37 Inside DCA, Deel's self-writing code agent 25:55 Breaking into new international markets 28:34 B2C versus B2B expansion 30:16 The cost of not using a platform like Deel 33:01 What keeps Dan up at night about AI agents 33:29 Akai, and scaling operations without growing headcount 36:15 Dan's own weekend coding experiment 37:26 Rapid fire, is the SaaS apocalypse real 39:48 The physical Deel Card and crypto payroll 42:23 What is a stablecoin 43:02 Which AI tools Dan actually reaches for 44:51 If Dan built one AI project this weekend 46:45 Closing thoughts and where to find Dan 47:08 Deel's new Arsenal FC sponsorship 48:41 Georgie's weekly AI newsletter

    Lucas Cantor: "I Don't Think Anybody Knows What AI Is"

    Lucas Cantor has an unusual claim on the AI conversation. In 2019, Huawei asked him to finish Schubert's Unfinished Symphony using artificial intelligence, and he did it. He's an Emmy-winning composer who has worked on every Olympics since 2002, produced a cover of Everybody Wants to Rule the World with Lorde, and now invests in music technology. His new book is Unfinished: The Role of the Artist in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. In this episode Georgie Healy gets Lucas to take apart the story we're all being told about AI. Why he thinks nobody actually knows what the term even means. Why every single person he asks assumes AI can do the job they're not an expert in, and can't do the job they are. Why the claim that AI democratizes creativity is a fallacy sold by AI companies, and what it actually democratizes instead. Why B2B SaaS isn't dead, and who benefits from you believing it is. And why the music industry, supposedly murdered by Napster, is bigger now than it was before. If you build, market, or operate anything, this is a useful hour of pressure testing. Lucas isn't a doomer and he isn't an evangelist. He's someone who has been inside the technology long enough to tell the difference between what it does and what it's sold as. Recorded ahead of his first trip to Australia for BIGSOUND - which is September 1st - 4th in Brisbane!

    Why AI Can't Replace Marketing Strategy - with LinkedIn's Robin O'Connell

    Robin O'Connell spends his days inside LinkedIn's marketing and advertising team in Australia, working with founders and brands on content strategy - which makes him a rare voice on where AI genuinely helps marketers, and where it still falls flat. In this episode, Robin makes the case that the smartest move for any marketer right now is trying to replace parts of your own job with AI, just to find out fast what it can't do. His answer: strategy. AI can automate tactics at scale, but it still can't replace the judgement that comes from genuinely understanding a customer. Georgie and Robin get into how brands actually stand out on LinkedIn (hint: it's not by looking like Apple), why comments and DMs are a better growth signal than impressions, and how to tell when AI-written content is quietly killing your credibility. The standout story, though, is personal: Robin's dad Dennis, a serial entrepreneur in Dublin who lost his retail business during COVID, now runs a landscaping venture - and uses AI image generation on an iPad to show clients exactly what their garden will look like before a single spade hits the ground. It's one of the clearest, most human examples of AI actually changing how someone runs a small business. Find Robin on LinkedIn for more on marketing, AI, and content strategy.
