Would you fire someone for not using AI? In this episode, David and Peter break down the controversial trend of tying job security to AI tool adoption and the deeper cultural and leadership failures it reveals. From Accenture’s 700,000-person AI mandate to self-assessments fed into ChatGPT, this conversation exposes the dangers of using AI as a smokescreen for layoffs.

They also walk through how they’re co-writing a book using Anthropic’s Claude, sharing tools, prompts, and the interview-style workflows that make it possible to scale creativity without losing your voice.

If you care about digital transformation, workplace culture, or building with AI responsibly, this is a must-watch.
