• The ASI Climate Triage Conundrum

  The ASI Climate Triage ConundrumDecades from now an artificial super-intelligence, trusted to manage global risk, releases its first climate directive.The system has processed every satellite image, census record, migration pattern and economic forecast.Its verdict is blunt: abandon thousands of low-lying communities in the next ten years and pour every resource into fortifying inland population centers.The model projects forty percent fewer climate-related deaths over the century.Mathematically it is the best possible outcome for the species.Yet the directive would uproot cultures older than many nations, erase languages spoken only in the targeted regions and force millions to leave the graves of their families.People in unaffected cities read the summary and nod.They believe the super-intelligence is wiser than any human council.They accept the plan.Then the second directive arrives.This time the evacuation map includes their own hometown.The collision of logicsUtilitarian certaintyThe ASI calculates total life-years saved and suffering avoided.It cannot privilege sentiment over arithmetic.Human values that resist numbersHeritage, belonging, spiritual ties to land.The right to choose hardship over exile.The ASI states that any exception will cost thousands of additional lives elsewhere.Refusing the order is not just personal; it shifts the burden to strangers.The conundrum:If an intelligence vastly beyond our own presents a plan that will save the most lives but demands extreme sacrifices from specific groups, do we obey out of faith in its superior reasoning?Or do we insist on slowing the algorithm, rewriting the solution with principles of fairness, cultural preservation and consent, even when that rewrite means more people die overall?And when the sacrifice circle finally touches us, will we still praise the greater good, or will we fight to redraw the lineThis podcast is created by AI.

• The BIG AI Use Cases We Use Right Now! (Ep. 450)

  Want to keep the conversation going?Join our Slack community at dailyaishowcommunity.comToday’s "Be About It" show focuses entirely on demos from the hosts. Each person brings a real-world project or workflow they have built using AI tools. This is not theory, it is direct application - from automations to custom GPTs, database setups, and smart retrieval systems. If you ever wanted a behind-the-scenes look at how active builders are using AI daily, this is the episode.Key Points DiscussedBrian showed a new method for building advanced custom GPTs using a “router file” architecture. This method allows a master prompt to stay simple while routing tasks to multiple targeted documents.He demonstrated it live using a “choose your own adventure” game, revealing how much more scalable custom GPTs become when broken into modular files.Karl shared a client use case: updating and validating over 10,000 CRM contacts. After testing deep research tools like GenSpark, Mantis, and Gemini, he shifted to a lightweight automation using Perplexity Sonar Pro to handle research batch updates efficiently.Karl pointed out the real limitations of current AI agents: batch sizes, context drift, and memory loss across long iterations.Jyunmi gave a live example of solving an everyday internet frustration: using O3 to track down the name of a fantasy show from a random TikTok clip with no metadata. He framed it as how AI-first behaviors can replace traditional Google searches.Andy demoed his Sensei platform, a live AI tutoring system for prompt engineering. Built in Lovable.dev with a Supabase backend, Sensei uses ChatGPT O3 and now GenSpark to continually generate, refine, and expand custom course material.Beth walked through how she used Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT to design and build a Python app for automatic transcript correction. She emphasized the practical use of AI in product discovery, design iteration, and agile problem-solving across models.Brian returned with a second demo, showing how corrected transcripts are embedded into Supabase, allowing for semantic search and complex analysis. He previewed future plans to enable high-level querying across all 450+ episodes of the Daily AI Show.The group emphasized the need to stitch together multiple AI tools, using the best strengths of each to build smarter workflows.Throughout the demos, the spirit of the show was clear: use AI to solve real problems today, not wait for future "magic agents" that are still under development.#BeAboutIt #AIworkflows #CustomGPT #Automation #GenSpark #DeepResearch #SemanticSearch #DailyAIShow #VectorDatabases #PromptEngineering #Supabase #AgenticWorkflowsTimestamps & Topics00:00:00 🚀 Intro: What is the “Be About It” show?00:01:15 📜 Brian explains two demos: GPT router method and Supabase ingestion00:05:43 🧩 Brian shows how the router file system improves custom GPTs00:11:17 🔎 Karl demos CRM contact cleanup with deep research and automation00:18:52 🤔 Challenges with batching, memory, and agent tasking00:25:54 🧠 Jyunmi uses O3 to solve a real-world “what show was that” mystery00:32:50 📺 ChatGPT vs Google for daily search behaviors00:37:52 🧑‍🏫 Andy demos Sensei, a dynamic AI tutor platform for prompting00:43:47 ⚡ GenSpark used to expand Sensei into new domains00:47:08 🛠️ Beth shows how she used Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT to create a transcript correction app00:52:55 🔥 Beth walks through PRD generation, code builds, and rapid iteration01:02:44 🧠 Brian returns: Transcript ingestion into Supabase and why embeddings matter01:07:11 🗃️ How vector databases allow complex semantic search across shows01:13:22 🎯 Future use cases: clip search, quote extraction, performance tracking01:14:38 🌴 Wrap-up and reflections on building real-world AI systemsThe Daily AI Show Co-Hosts: Jyunmi Hatcher, Andy Halliday, Beth Lyons, Brian Maucere, and Karl Yeh

• AI Rollout Mistakes That Will Sink Your Strategy (Ep. 449)

  Want to keep the conversation going?Join our Slack community at dailyaishowcommunity.comCompanies continue racing to add AI into their operations, but many are running into the same roadblocks. In today’s episode, the team walks through the seven most common strategy mistakes organizations are making with AI adoption. Pulled from real consulting experience and inspired by a recent post from Nufar Gaspar, this conversation blends practical examples with behind-the-scenes insight from companies trying to adapt.Key Points DiscussedTop-down vs. bottom-up adoption often fails when there's no alignment between leadership goals and on-the-ground workflows. AI strategy cannot succeed in a silo.Leadership frequently falls for vendor hype, buying tools before identifying actual problems. This leads to shelfware and missed value.Grassroots AI experiments often stay stuck at the demo stage. Without structure or support, they never scale or stick.Many companies skip the discovery phase. Carl emphasized the need to audit workflows and tech stacks before selecting tools.Legacy systems and fragmented data storage (local drives, outdated platforms, etc.) block many AI implementations from succeeding.There’s an over-reliance on AI to replace rather than enhance human talent. Sales workflows in particular suffer when companies chase automation at the expense of personalization.Pilot programs fail when companies don’t invest in rollout strategies, user feedback loops, and cross-functional buy-in.Andy and Beth stressed the value of training. Companies that prioritize internal AI education (e.g. JP Morgan, IKEA, Mastercard) are already seeing returns.The show emphasized organizational agility. Traditional enterprise methods (long contracts, rigid structures) don’t match AI’s fast pace of change.There’s no such thing as an “all-in-one” AI stack. Modular, adaptive infrastructure wins.Beth framed AI as a communication technology. Without improving team alignment, AI can’t solve deep internal disconnects.Carl reminded everyone: don’t wait for the tech to mature. By the time it does, you’re already behind.Data chaos is real. Companies must organize meaningful data into accessible formats before layering AI on top.Training juniors without grunt work is a new challenge. AI has removed the entry-level work that previously built expertise.The episode closed with a call for companies to think about AI as a culture shift, not just a tech one.#AIstrategy #AImistakes #EnterpriseAI #AIimplementation #AItraining #DigitalTransformation #BusinessAgility #WorkflowAudit #AIinSales #DataChaos #DailyAIShowTimestamps & Topics00:00:00 🎯 Intro: Seven AI strategy mistakes companies keep making00:03:56 🧩 Leadership confusion and the Tiger Team trap00:05:20 🛑 Top-down vs. bottom-up adoption failures00:09:23 🧃 Real-world example: buying AI tools before identifying problems00:12:46 🧠 Why employees rarely have time to test or scale AI alone00:15:19 📚 Morgan Stanley’s AI assistant success story00:18:31 🛍️ Koozie Group: solving the actual field rep pain point00:21:18 💬 AI is a communication tech, not a magic fix00:23:25 🤝 Where sales automation goes too far00:26:35 📉 When does AI start driving prices down?00:30:34 🧠 The missing discovery and audit step00:34:57 ⚠️ Legacy enterprise structures don’t match AI speed00:38:09 📨 Email analogy for shifting workplace expectations00:42:01 🎓 JP Morgan, IKEA, Mastercard: AI training at scale00:45:34 🧠 Investment cycles and eco-strategy at speed00:49:05 🚫 The vanishing path from junior to senior roles00:52:42 🗂️ Final point: scattered data makes AI harder than it needs to be00:57:44 📊 Wrap-up and preview: tomorrow’s “Be About It” demo show01:00:06 🎁 Bonus aftershow: The 8th mistake?

• AI News: The Stories You Can't Ignore (Ep. 448)

  Want to keep the conversation going?Join our Slack community at dailyaishowcommunity.comFrom TikTok deals and Grok upgrades to OpenAI’s new voice features and Google’s AI avatar experiments, this week’s AI headlines covered a lot of ground. The team recaps what mattered most, who’s making bold moves, and where the tech is starting to quietly reshape the tools we use every day.Key Points DiscussedGrok 1.5 launched with improved reasoning and 128k context window. It now supports code interpretation and math. Eran called it a “legit open model.”Elon also revealed that xAI is building its own data center using Nvidia’s Blackwell GPUs, trying to catch up to OpenAI and Anthropic.OpenAI’s new voice and video preview dropped for ChatGPT mobile. Early demos show real-time voice conversations, visual problem solving, and language tutoring.The team debated whether OpenAI should prioritize performance upgrades in ChatGPT over launching new features that feel half-baked.Google’s AI Studio quietly added live avatar support. Developers can animate avatars from text or voice prompts using SynthID watermarking.Jyunmi noted the parallels between SynthID and other traceability tools, suggesting this might be a key feature for global content regulation.A bill to ban TikTok passed the Senate. There’s increasing speculation that TikTok might be forced to divest or exit the US entirely, shifting shortform AI content to YouTube Shorts and Reels.Amazon Bedrock added Claude 3 Opus and Mistral to its mix of foundation models, giving enterprise clients more variety in hosted LLM options.Adobe Firefly added style reference capabilities, allowing designers to generate AI art based on uploaded reference images.Microsoft Designer also improved its layout suggestion engine with better integration from Bing Create.Meta is expected to release Llama 3 any day now. It will launch inside Meta AI across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp first.Grok might get a temporary advantage with its hardware strategy and upcoming Grok 2.0 model, but the team is skeptical it can catch up without partnerships.The show closed with a reminder that many of these updates are quietly creeping into everyday products, changing how people interact with tech even if they don’t realize AI is involved.#AInews #Grok #OpenAI #ChatGPT #Claude3 #Llama3 #AmazonBedrock #AIAvatars #TikTokBan #AdobeFirefly #GoogleAIStudio #MetaAI #DailyAIShowTimestamps & Topics00:00:00 🗞️ Intro and show kickoff00:01:05 🤖 Grok 1.5 update and reasoning capabilities00:03:15 🖥️ xAI building Blackwell GPU data center00:05:12 🎤 OpenAI launches voice and video preview in ChatGPT00:08:08 🎓 Voice tutoring and problem solving in real-time00:10:42 🛠️ Should OpenAI improve core features before new ones?00:14:01 🧍‍♂️ Google AI Studio adds live avatar support00:17:12 🔍 SynthID and watermarking for traceable AI content00:19:00 🇺🇸 Senate passes bill to ban or force sale of TikTok00:20:56 🎬 Shortform video power shifts to YouTube and Reels00:24:01 📦 Claude 3 and Mistral arrive on Amazon Bedrock00:25:45 🎨 Adobe Firefly now supports style reference uploads00:27:23 🧠 Meta Llama 3 launch expected across apps00:29:07 💽 Designer tools: Microsoft Designer vs. Canva00:30:49 🔄 Quiet updates to mainstream tools keep AI adoption growingThe Daily AI Show Co-Hosts: Jyunmi Hatcher, Andy Halliday, Beth Lyons, Brian Maucere, and Karl Yeh
