    Zuck to the Future: Meta's Superintelligence Lab

    Meta just rage-quit its own AI strategy and rolled out the Superintelligence Lab, because nothing says "totally under control" like consolidating teams under Zuck himself. In this episode, host Emily Laird breaks down Meta’s big bet on AGI, its new Avengers-style AI dream team (including Alexandr Wang and Nat Friedman), and the Manhattan-sized data centers designed to power it all. With billion-dollar budgets, 9-digit salaries, and a dash of sci-fi ambition, is this Meta’s masterstroke or Metaverse 2.0 with fancier buzzwords? Spoiler: Yann LeCun still isn’t sold.

    OpenAI’s Agent: What It Is, What It Does, and Why It’s a Big Deal

In this episode, host Emily Laird breaks down what the Agent actually is, how it turns ChatGPT into a hands-on digital assistant, and why Sam Altman is calling this “the feel of AGI” while also slapping a giant experimental label on it.

    AI: The Ozempic of Corporate America

    Corporate America’s on Ozempic, and the side effect is mass layoffs. In this episode, host Emily Laird slices into the juicy mess of the AI-powered corporate slim-down brought to you by a fantastic article by the WSJ. Turns out your boss doesn’t hate you, he just read a memo that said a chatbot is cheaper. From Amazon’s Andy Jassy preaching lean teams like it’s a TED Talk for sociopaths, to Walmart quietly firing 100,000 people while raking in billions, we unpack how generative AI is becoming the CFO’s new best friend. Less staff, more spreadsheets, and absolutely no chill. The Wall Street Journal Article (subscription required, sorry!)

    Andy Jassy & the AI Workforce Purge

    Amazon CEO Andy Jassy just dropped a memo that’s equal parts pep talk and pink slip warning: AI is amazing, and it’s coming for your job. In this episode, host Emily Laird breaks down how Amazon is unleashing AI agents like digital Avengers to automate the mundane, boost efficiency, and quietly make some roles...disappear. We unpack what it means to “adapt or become the next Blockbuster,” why passive-aggressive robots are the future of your Slack channel, and how to become an AI-literate teammate before your digital coworkers outpace you. Check out the Jassy Memo (seriously, read it, sport). Connect with Us: If you enjoyed this episode or have questions, reach out to Emily Laird on LinkedIn.

From AI ethicists who play moral compass to personality directors deciding whether your chatbot sounds more like Oprah or Steve Harvey, we’re looking at new roles built around trust, integration, and taste. Your next job might involve babysitting a bot, fine-tuning its vibe, or making sure it doesn’t start pitching crypto scams. The future of work is weird, but it’s hiring.
