    From RAG to Resilience: Building AI-Ready Data Foundations with Jim Liddle of Nasuni

    What’s the one thing every enterprise overlooks when building AI? According to Jim Liddle, Chief Innovation Officer at Nasuni, it’s not the model, it’s the data architecture. In this episode, Jim explains why unstructured data is both the biggest risk and the biggest opportunity for enterprise AI. He highlights the persistent compliance gap around sensitive information, the challenge of fragmented storage, and the dangers of agentic autonomy without safeguards. Resilience takes center stage, with a focus on immutable snapshots and instant recovery to keep systems reliable. Jim also shows how agent orchestration works in practice, from splitting prompts to managing context windows. Looking ahead, he shares how Nasuni’s FileIQ and OpsIQ can help organizations build AI-ready data foundations without drowning in tool sprawl. https://www.nasuni.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimliddle

    Up-Skilling the Nation: Mike Spaeth on AI’s Race Against the Skills Gap

    AI power-broker Mike Spaeth doesn’t mince words: if we fail to reskill fast, automation will wipe out one in five jobs. He points to Texas’s Alpha School, where AI squeezes a whole school day into two turbo-charged hours—proof that the education rulebook is already being torched. Spaeth calls out companies hoarding the “time dividend,” insisting that every minute saved by bots must be plowed back into people or productivity gains will evaporate. He cites Malaysia’s nationwide up-skilling blitz and even recommends Karpathy’s two-hour language-model primer, turning lofty ideas into a step-by-step survival kit. Stick around to the final beat, when the crew dares you to hit replay in 2035 and judge whether we chose equity—or let AI widen the divide.

    AI at Warp Speed: Work, Video, and What Comes Next

    Take a front-row seat as Jake and Spencer chart AI’s breakneck advance—progress so fast that many observers still look the other way. They highlight Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s forecast that the very shape of work could shift within a decade, then demo the new Veo 3 video model, which can generate multi-scene, lip-synced video with layered vocals, background sound and “vibe”. Rounding things out, the hosts weigh deep-fake ethics and consider how lawmakers and faith communities might craft sensible guardrails rather than panic.   .

    The AI That Got Me Dates: Building Tinder GPT and Beyond ft. Grigorij Dudnik

    Can AI save us from the toxic digital world it helped create? In this episode, Polish AI engineer Grigorij Dudnik shares how he's building AI agents that handle our digital drudgery—from Tinder GPT that automates online dating conversations to Clean Coder that writes code autonomously. His most fascinating project puts language models on Raspberry Pi to create physical robots that make ethical decisions, like a toy train solving the trolley dilemma in real-time. Grigorij's philosophy is revolutionary: instead of AI keeping us glued to screens, it should free us to focus on real human connections and meaningful work. Through his three groundbreaking projects, he demonstrates how AI can disrupt the attention economy rather than feed it, offering a glimpse of a future where our digital servants handle the boring stuff while we live our actual lives.
