EP20: Everyone in AI Sounds the Same (Christian Masset)
Christian Masset coaches founders to speak to the media, to investors and to their own teams. The new wave of AI founders is younger, he says, but it brings the same problem as every founder before it: they talk too much. One founder he has coached for almost two years used to drown investors in technical detail. Last week he said the absolute minimum, and the investor loved it. Augustin asks Christian how a one-man AI consultancy should position itself when everyone in AI says the same things. They also talk about AI safety and steering AI agents with the I Ching, how Steve Jobs rehearsed, Wittgenstein and reframing, and why curiosity is a better motivation than money.

EP19: Google Analytics for the Real World (Steve Walsh)
Online, every impression is measured. Step outside and the whole industry goes blind. Steve Walsh is CTO of Smart Retail, an edge computer vision platform that brings web-style analytics to physical space — and he is careful to explain how it counts people without identifying them. The engineering is the interesting part: a 30-to-40-million-parameter model small enough to run on a standalone device with no connection, uploading only aggregates. Also: what four years of AI coding tools actually changed about how his team ships.

EP18: Google, Alibaba, and the New Production Relations (Jason Xu)
Jason Xu has built product on both sides of the divide — years at Google, then years at Alibaba — and he is unusually precise about how differently the two think. Asked to name two good things about each, he does, and the answers say more than a critique would. Then the conversation turns philosophical: if AI collapses the cost of reorganising a team, what happens to the relationship between a company and the people in it? Jason reorganises his own workforce every three months. He explains what that means when most of the workforce is a model.
