Dave Duarte: The Half-Life of Knowledge in the AI Age
AI is moving faster than anyone can keep up with, and most people are quietly knackered just trying. In this episode we sit down with old friend and fellow educator Dave Duarte to ask the awkward question: what's actually worth learning when every shiny new tool has the shelf life of a banana? Expect philosophy, paperclip machines, surprisingly creepy smart homes, and a genuinely useful framework for staying authentically human while everything else gets automated.
The Human Side of AI: Agentic AI & The Future of Workflows
In this episode, Chris and Conor McCarthy explore the move from standard Chatbots to Agentic AI.

Conor breaks down the confusion between simple workflows and true AI agents, sharing practical examples of how to automate everything from email triage to complex coding tasks.
In this episode, we cover:
- The 3 Levels of AI Interaction: From basic LLMs to "If/Then" workflows, and finally, true Agentic AI.
- The "Decision" Factor: How to trust AI to make decisions without you watching over its shoulder.
- Real-World Wins: How to use agents to fix your inbox and optimise marketing ads automatically.
