    Just days after OpenAI dropped their ChatGPT agent announcement, Jason sits down with Ankur Patel, CEO of Multimodal.dev and former Bridgewater Associates bond trader. While everyone's freaking out, Jason gets the real story from someone who actually knows what they're talking about.

    This isn't another AI hype fest. It's a raw, unfiltered look at what's really happening in enterprise AI from someone who's lived on both sides – from bonds at Bridgewater to building AI agents for the world's most regulated industries.

From the demographic crisis forcing insurance companies to embrace AI, to why ChatGPT is perfect for dinner reservations but potentially catastrophic for financial transactions.

    This is AI education for adults. No buzzwords, just unvarnished truth from someone building it in the trenches where failure is existential.

    Key Takeaways:

    - Why OpenAI's agent is fundamentally differentfrom everything before

    - The real reason most enterprise AI projectscrash and burn

    - Which industries are actually seeing jobdisplacement (hint: it's not what you think)

    - The $200/month AI strategy every business leaderneeds to know

    What happens when intelligence becomes a commodity? In our eye-opening two-part conversation with IBM Field CTO Matt Konwiser on AI Diatribe, we dive deep into the real-world impact AI is already having on jobs, the economy, and society as a whole.

    Part 1 explored the current disruption: 85 million jobs expected to be displaced by year's end, major companies scaling back entry-level hiring, and the growing conversation around Universal Basic Income. We broke down which jobs are most vulnerable and why the "lowest rungs of the career ladder have just been cut out."

    Part 2 takes you further down the rabbit hole, examining AGI timelines, the risk of humans becoming "doom-scrolling zombies," and practical advice for adapting to our AI-driven future. From insider perspectives on enterprise AI adoption to why we should fear becoming the Borg more than Skynet, this conversation gets real about what's coming.
