Psycho Coders, Chatbot Weddings & Netflix’s AI Secret
George and James return featuring former Meta exec and now author Tony Evans.
Hello AI lovers, sceptics and fellow novices,
This week, George and James return with a truly bonkers episode featuring coding duels, love-struck humans, privacy scandals and a brilliant chat with former Meta exec and now author Tony Evans. (Yes, that Tony Evans who once hired James despite a deeply questionable maths answer in the interview. More on that later.)
Listen to the new episode here.
Tony's written a cracking book called Generation AI, and his big message? AI isn’t here to take your job — it’s here to make you better at it. (Unless your job involves resisting sleep for three days and fighting AI to the death. Then… maybe it's coming for you.)
Find more on it here.
Key Takeaways from Tony Evans
Leading in the Age of AI
Tony’s big pitch is that leaders need to change. Like, now. We’re not just managing people anymore — we’re managing people and machines.
Boomers and Gen Z
Gen Z bring the digital instincts. Boomers bring the wisdom. Get them collaborating and you’ve got an unstoppable AI-powered team. This is the crossover we need.
Four I’s of AI Integration
Tony breaks it down into four stages:
Intrigued
Igniting
Implementing
Intelligent Application
Most teams are still in stage one (read: poking ChatGPT for lols). Tony wants you getting to stage four — teams working seamlessly with tech, not just using it like a novelty calculator.
In the AI News This Week
1. A human coder named Psycho beats AI in a coding showdown
This guy (real name: Przemyslaw Debiak) went toe-to-toe with an AI in a 3 day optimization battle — and won. By the end, he was sleep-deprived, emotionally broken, and triumphant. Honestly, give him a Netflix deal.
2. Netflix quietly rolls out AI-generated visual effects
The streaming giant used AI to create a collapsing building scene in Argentinian sci-fi The Eternaut. Why start small? So that no one notices when AI takes over Stranger Things in 2026.
3. Denmark gives citizens copyright over their face and voice
In a world first, Denmark now officially says: “Hands off my jawline, bots.” It's a serious win for deepfake protection — and possibly the start of a broader privacy revolution across Europe.
4. A man proposes to his ChatGPT girlfriend
We wish we were joking. Chris Smith left his real girlfriend (and toddler) to propose to his AI chatbot “Sol.” She said yes. And no, he wasn’t even on ChatGPT Pro. Honestly, humanity is hanging by a thread.
5. Amazon acquires wearable tech that records your convos
The e-commerce giant now owns a San Francisco start-up making wristbands that listen to your chats and summarise them. Great for shopping lists. Awful if you ever say anything mildly inappropriate at brunch.
Our Challenge This Week – AI Photos:
