The AI Productivity Paradox: Why Doing More Feels Like Burnout: EP99.31

We're either above average or completely unhinged. In this one, we dive deep into the new phenomenon of "AI exhaustion" – that fried feeling you get after multitasking across six agent tabs all day. We share our breakthroughs with AI-assisted presentations (20 minutes vs several hours), why browser-use on your local machine bypasses every anti-scraping technique known to man, and how enterprise context sharing could be the real unlock for organizations. Plus: OpenAI announces ads for ChatGPT (even on paid tiers), their CFO floats taking cuts from drug discoveries (seriously), and Google publicly dunks on them for it. Also – the Still Relevant Australia Tour is coming, and our LinkedIn group hit 200 members (we're basically LinkedIn influencers now too).
