AI: Destroying SaaS and The Future of Education

Welcome to this week's episode, where we're tackling the big questions about AI. Is it killing the software industry? And should colleges be embracing it instead of banning it? We'll dive into the latest trends, debate the pros and cons, and explore how AI is reshaping how we work and learn.

• SaaS Under Threat: We're seeing a massive shift in the tech world. Hear real-world examples of how AI is allowing solo developers to build and launch products in a weekend that once took months for a full team.

• The LLM Leaderboard: We're introducing our weekly LLM leaderboard, and this week's top spot goes to Google. We'll break down why Google's latest models are setting a new standard in multimodal AI.

• The Coding Conundrum: AI can make you faster, but is it a 10x improvement or just a 2x boost? We'll discuss the debate around using AI for coding and whether it's a stepping stone or a permanent crutch.

• AI in Academia: We'll explore a new tool, GPTZero, that schools are using to detect AI-generated work. Is this the right approach, or are colleges missing a major opportunity to prepare students for the real world?

• Embracing the Future: A hot take on why colleges should stop banning AI and start incorporating it into their curriculum. Learn how a simple shift to presentations and real-world scenarios could prepare students for the future of work.

• The Human Connection: In a world of AI-generated content, we argue that the pendulum is swinging back toward in-person interaction and a focus on essential human skills.
