    Ep. 15 - AI at Full Throttle: Are We Ready for the Ride?

    Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of suicide and the psychological impact of AI. Please listen with care or skip this one if you need to. Mental-health resources are listed below. This week, we went off-script—and we mean really off-script. What started as a casual chat about AI in everyday business turned into a deep, occasionally uncomfortable look at the darker side of artificial intelligence: emotional dependency, ethics, energy impact, and what happens when tech crosses into human territory. We actually debated whether to release this conversation at all—but ultimately decided that if we are going to talk about AI, we need to talk about all of it. So consider this Part 1: the heavy, honest side of the story.  Next week, we promise a lighter follow-up where we bring back our usual chaos, caffeine, and questionable metaphors.  OBM Unscripted — Real talk about business, brains, and the systems that hold it all together.
