As companies start to replace employees with AI agents, how are human workers adjusting? For this episode Jeff connected with Evan Ratliff, who created what he calls “the world’s first AI-led startup” to see what happens when AI agents run a company. He’s been documenting the sometimes comic results on his podcast Shell Game. What advice does Ratliff have for educators trying to prepare students for this strange new world of work? As a bonus, three college students with very different majors weigh in on what they think of all this.
