Episode Details

Reese Witherspoon just dropped a truth bomb: women’s jobs are 3x more likely to be automated by AI, yet women are using it 25% less than men. Instead of applause, authors and the literary world slammed her for saying “It’s time to learn AI.”

In this episode, Simone & Malcolm Collins break down the controversy, why Reese is right (and surprisingly based), the hilarious meltdown from writers like Roxane Gay, and what it means for the future of filmmaking, creativity, and women in tech.

They also dive into:

* Reese’s earlier call for “more girl bosses in AI”

* How AI is transforming Hollywood (and why fighting it is self-sabotage)

* The gender divide in AI adoption — and how approachable agent tools can help

* Milla Jovovich’s impressive open-source AI memory palace

* Why refusing to learn AI is the fastest way to get left behind

If you want to stay relevant in the AI revolution — whether you’re a creator, professional, or just don’t want to be replaced — this is the wake-up call.

Watch until the end for a fun chat about high vs. low camp, family life, and why the people embracing AI will dominate the next era.

Simone Collins: [00:00:00] Hello Malcolm. I’m excited to be speaking with you today because women freaked out after Reese Witherspoon said that women should learn how to use ai. Oh

Malcolm Collins: my God. Now one, I love the learn to code thing. Yes. So for people who forgot, learn to code.

So journalists used to always like tell. Coal miners and stuff in West Virginia with a very smug act, learn to code whenever, like a coal mine would get shut down or whatever, right? Because. Of course they’re arrogant. They see these people as subhuman. Mm-hmm. They are just like, get a real job, basically.

Right. Like,

Simone Collins: yeah.

Malcolm Collins: Yeah. Like a high. Anyway, when all the journalists started being laid off the new Right. Gamer gate, post gamer gate online. Right. Came out and started yelling at them to learn to code, or not yelling at them, but tweeting at them, and they got super triggered to the. Accounts could get banned for telling a journalist to learn to code after they had lost their job

Simone Collins: 100%.

And once again the primary people who had a bit of an aneurysm in, [00:01:00] in the face of Reese Witherspoon politely recommending that this is kind of an important and big deal.

Speaker 2: What? Like it’s hard.

Simone Collins: Were writers, of course because they hate it. And apparently though this isn’t even Reese Witherspoon’s first time, like trying to evangelize the use of ai, which I think is really interesting.

So just seven months ago, again, this is super not new. She made headlines for saying that AI needs more girl bosses.

Speaker 9: Do you have a resume?

It’s pink. Oh. And it’s sented. I think it gives it a little something extra. Don’t you think?

Simone Collins: There’s this article in the cut titled, Reese Witherspoon thinks AI Needs More Girl Bosses, where they bristle about her statement that she made in a different interview to glamor the Women’s Fashion Magazine.

They, they write one thing about Reese Witherspoon, she’s going to get women into male dominated spaces, and if those spaces are an environmentally disastrous creative wasteland designed to eliminate the human touch from art. Well, they could use a feminine touch.
