What happens when intelligence becomes a commodity? In our eye-opening two-part conversation with IBM Field CTO Matt Konwiser on AI Diatribe, we dive deep into the real-world impact AI is already having on jobs, the economy, and society as a whole.

Part 1 explored the current disruption: 85 million jobs expected to be displaced by year's end, major companies scaling back entry-level hiring, and the growing conversation around Universal Basic Income. We broke down which jobs are most vulnerable and why the "lowest rungs of the career ladder have just been cut out."

Part 2 takes you further down the rabbit hole, examining AGI timelines, the risk of humans becoming "doom-scrolling zombies," and practical advice for adapting to our AI-driven future. From insider perspectives on enterprise AI adoption to why we should fear becoming the Borg more than Skynet, this conversation gets real about what's coming.

Whether you're worried about your job security or curious about humanity's next chapter, this conversation will change how you think about AI's role in our lives. No tech jargon, no hype - just honest insights about the transformation that's already underway.

Ever wonder what your world will look like when AI can do most of what you do for work? This isn't some distant sci-fi scenario. It's happening right now, and the changes are accelerating faster than most people realize.

In this two-part deep dive, AI Diatribe Host Jason Lowe sits down with IBM Field CTO Matt Konwiser to explore what AI's rapid advancement really means for regular people. We're talking about everything from why Meta stopped hiringjunior developers to whether Universal Basic Income could actually work in America.

Part 1 focuses on today's reality: the jobs being eliminated, the new ones being created, and why Amazon now has one robot for every human employee.

Part 2 will get into the bigger picture - when we might hit Artificial General Intelligence, why Matt thinks we should fear becoming like the Borg more than Skynet, and practical steps you can take to stay relevant.

This isn't about doom and gloom. It's about understanding what's coming so you can adapt, thrive, and maybe even help shape the future we're building. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by AI headlines or wondered how to actually start using these tools, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of AI Diatribe, host Jason Lowe (JLowe) sits down with David McPeak, President of Sky Data Vault, to explore why we're still in the early days of AI transformation - and why the biggest changes are yet to come.

David brings a unique perspective from the infrastructure trenches, having built and sold multiple companies while watching technology evolve from mainframes to cloud services to today's AI revolution. He shares insights on the critical security challenges most companies are overlooking as they integrate AI with their data, the coming wave of AI agents that will manage other AI agents, and why the current gap between AI "haves and have-nots" is about to disappear. Key topics covered:

- Why AI without proper security is "just a very efficient threat vector"

- The infrastructure challenges companies face as they move from cloud-only back to hybrid models

- How AI agents will accelerate business processes beyond human comprehension

- The economic disruption coming when AI drives costs toward zero

- Practical advice for individuals and businesses just getting started with AI

Whether you're a tech professional or simply curious about how AI will reshape our world, this conversation offers a grounded look at what's really coming - and why we need to prepare for changes happening faster than most people realize.

David's prediction? We're not just looking at incremental improvements, but a fundamental acceleration that will touch every aspect of our lives. The question isn't whether this transformation is coming, it's whether we'll be ready!
