Special episode: AI- Spade or Subcontractor?

This was a spur-of the-moment, extra episode I put out, so no video recorded.

We’re living through a step change with AI, much like when platforms such as Facebook suddenly became universal after years of quiet development. The key issue isn’t the technology itself but how we use it: AI can be a powerful tool — like upgrading from a shovel to a digger — that makes us faster and more effective while we retain responsibility and judgment.

But when people outsource their thinking entirely and attach their name to work they don’t understand or check, AI stops being a tool and becomes a subcontractor, and that makes them dangerously expendable.
