Episode notes
Who gets left behind when AI moves faster than a small business can keep up? On IWNL 81, Tony Ortiz and Alex start there, then get into the part of this moment that cannot be automated away: human creativity, connection, and the willingness to share what we learn. Alex talks about a trip to San Francisco and the AI culture he saw there. They also discuss practical tools, open access, and why safety is a shared responsibility—not a job for one lab alone.
Near the end, Codex joins the conversation for a live demo.
