    #223: AI Answers - AI Washing, Flatter Org Charts, Advice for Students, Agent Security & the AI Writing Gap
    Jul 2 2026
    The questions people ask about AI have changed. A year ago, they wanted to know what ChatGPT was; now they're asking how to redesign workflows around agents and whether a model can be trained the way a person is. In this AI Answers episode, Paul Roetzer and Cathy McPhillips take on fifteen of them, straight from our Intro to AI classes. From choosing two or three models on a tight budget to building an AI virtual twin without sacrificing authenticity, it's a snapshot of where practitioners' thinking actually is right now. 00:00:00 — Intro 00:5:59 How do you balance bottom-up experimentation with CEO-level strategy? 00:9:49 How do you move from restricting AI to enabling it? 00:11:36 How do you pick two or three models on a budget? 00:14:30 How do you evaluate vendors amid AI washing? 00:17:13 Frontier models, small models, or edge AI? 00:20:52 What are the security risks of autonomous agents? 00:25:02 Do AI models really behave like people? 00:30:25 How do you prove AI value with only basic tools? 00:32:02 How do you build a 24/7 AI virtual twin? 00:37:17 How do you close the human vs. AI writing gap? 00:40:26 Which skills gain value as AI takes over workflows? 00:42:57 Automate, augment, or keep it human? 00:47:20 Why flatten management instead of upskilling it? 00:50:51 Who's responsible for AI's economic fallout? 00:53:05 What advice would you give a college student?

    #222: GPT-5.6, Government Staggers AI Model Releases, Agents Are Transforming Work & Growing Data Center Backlash
    Jun 30 2026
    OpenAI just previewed GPT-5.6, but for the first time, the U.S. government is deciding who gets access to a frontier AI model. Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput break down what they're calling the soft nationalization of artificial intelligence: a staggered, government-approved release, the Dean Ball essay responding to it, and what it means when Washington, not the labs, controls the most powerful models. Plus: OpenAI's new Codex research on agents at work, the looming question of Chinese models, and the data center backlash uniting both parties.

    #221: Anthropic vs. the White House, Microsoft CEO on the Future of Firms & AI’s Token Crisis
    Jun 23 2026
    Anthropic's most powerful models are still offline, and the U.S. government now wants a guarantee no lab can give. Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput unpack the ongoing export-control standoff, the Lutnick letter, and what it means for the models expected this week, then turn to Satya Nadella's "future of the firm" essay, the unsolved mess of AI pricing and usage limits, a wave of lab talent shakeups including Noam Shazeer's move to OpenAI, the G7 AI summit, Midjourney's leap into medical scanning, and research showing AI can out-persuade expert humans.
