Episode Details

Most businesses think they're ready for AI agents. Jason Padgett and Clay Cash — a 25-year data and litigation technology veteran — break down exactly why that's usually wrong, what it actually costs to fix it, and where the real opportunities are for companies that get their data house in order first.

Key topics covered:

• Claude Code and what it unlocks for non-traditional developers who aren't software engineers
• Why going AI-native cost one 30-person healthcare company $160K just to migrate data to Snowflake
• AI in regulated industries: HIPAA, attorney-client privilege, enterprise agreements, and private models
• Sycophancy in AI models: why ChatGPT tells you what you want to hear and Claude pushes back
• Building Claybot: a custom AI assistant trained to give honest answers, not compliments
• Workforce displacement, UBI, and the 60% of Americans with a sixth-grade reading level problem
• Why the US is the Luddite of the AI revolution (two-thirds of Congress are lawyers)
• Robotics: the elder care use case nobody is talking about
• K-12 AI literacy: why age-appropriate AI education matters more than any policy debate
• MCP, orchestrator agents, and context management for real-world AI performance
• The sci-fi closer: Clay picks The Matrix, Jason picks Blade Runner

Two guys who came up on War Games and TRS-80s talking about where this all actually goes.
