📅 Daily Summary by Craig David

**🚀 “The Good Stuff” – A Day in the Life of Pete & Andy (aka the AI‑loving, surf‑riding, van‑dwelling duo from City Beach, Perth)**

| Time‑stamp | What actually happened (but with a wink) |

|------------|------------------------------------------|

| **Morning coffee** | Pete and Andy rolled out of their van, set up a “studio” on the sand, and pretended the ocean was a massive neural net they could surf. 🌊🤖 |

| **Episode 5 – “Billy Big Models”** | They spent the first half of the show trying to convince the world that we don’t need a *bigger* AI model—just a *smarter* one that was invented sometime between your last Netflix binge and the last time you refreshed your LinkedIn feed. |

| **Farm‑to‑table analogy (03:40‑06:42)** | Before AI: 10 workers to feed one person. After AI: one farmer feeds 100+ people.  (If you’re still feeding your kids with a fork, you’re basically still in the Stone Age.) |

| **“Billy Big Models” (11:06‑15:10)** | Pete shouted, “I don’t need a model that’s newer than my last haircut!” while Andy nodded, noting that the *real* breakthrough is getting a bunch of tiny agents to do tiny tasks—think of it as an ant‑farm of chatbots, each with a single, very specific job: “Fetch coffee.” |

| **Augmentation vs. Agentic (18:12‑22:00)** | Augmentation = AI as a fancy kitchen gadget. Agentic = rebuilding the entire kitchen from the floor up, complete with robot chefs that also file your taxes. |

| **Task‑Decomposition (23:22‑25:55)** | “Break the job into sub‑atomic tasks,” they said, because 100 simple agents are easier than one “Swiss‑army‑knife” AI that can also bake a soufflé. |

| **Business‑as‑usual “tool‑creep” (29:10‑32:38)** | Companies are sprinkling AI onto old processes like confetti on a birthday cake—pretty, but it doesn’t make the cake any bigger. |

| **E‑commerce showdown (35:44‑39:12)** | Myer = “Add a website, we’re done.” Warby Parker = “Let’s re‑invent how people wear glasses while we’re at it.” |

| **Surf‑Analogy (53:28‑55:51)** | If you’re not riding the wave, you’re probably a sandcastle. The ocean (tech) is way bigger than you, so you better learn to surf… or get swept away. |

| **Agency = New IQ (56:46‑01:00:02)** | “High‑agency people will be the new geniuses.” In other words, if you can juggle a coffee, a phone, and a GPT‑4 prompt without dropping anything, you’re basically a superhero. |

| **Micro‑advances (01:03:40‑01:10:45)** | The real magic isn’t bigger models but *multi‑agent* setups, i.e., a swarm of tiny AIs that act like a well‑coordinated office—minus the passive‑aggressive watercooler chats. |

| **Episode 6 – “You Can Just Learn Things”** | |

|--------------------------------------------|---|

| **Van‑life schooling (02:50‑05:43)** | Andy’s kids are already running a “Teddy Fashion Boutique” while Pete’s son is designing tabletop games with AI. The kids have more side‑hustles than most adults have mortgages. |

| **Rethinking school (05:43‑10:30)** | The old “assembly‑line” school model is out; we’re moving to “play‑based, child‑led” learning. Think of it as swapping a treadmill for a jungle gym that also writes code. |

| **Personal learning journeys (10:30‑16:17)** | AI is the patient tutor who never gets annoyed when you ask the same “why?” a hundred times. It also never grades you on “participation points.” |

| **The “Intelligent Assembly Line” (16:17‑20:30)** | If you love the idea of school being an assembly line, you’re probably also a fan of waiting in line at the DMV. Spoiler: AI can make that line disappear. |

| **Knowledge‑graph maps (47:56‑52:13)** | AI builds a “map” of everything you know and everything you don’t, then hands you a GPS route to the treasure chest of mastery. No more wandering aimlessly in the forest of “I‑don’t‑get‑this.” |

| **Purpose & agency (34:40‑37:40)** | AI will force us to find purpose beyond the 9‑to‑5. The new job description? “Professional curiosity explorer.” |

| **Democratizing tutoring (52:13‑56:33)** | One‑to‑one tutoring at scale—basically having a personal Yoda for every learner, without the cryptic language. |

| **Credentialism vs. meritocracy (01:01:56‑01:15:03)** | In a world where AI can do your job for $0.01 per query, your fancy diploma is about as useful as a paper‑clip. It’s all about what you can *build*, not what you can *show*. |

| **“You can just learn things.” (01:11:12‑01:15:06)** | The grand finale: you no longer need permission from the gatekeepers; you just need a decent internet connection and the willingness to click “run” on a prompt. |

| **Memorable quotes** | • “You can just learn things.”
• “The beauty of play is it doesn’t feel like work.”
• “Education is going to change quite drastically.”
• “It doesn’t matter what we say to differentiate ourselves… it’s more about what we build.” |

### TL;DR (in 140 characters)

> Pete & Andy spent a day on a Perth beach‑van debating why **big AI models** are overrated, preaching **tiny‑agent** hustle, then swapped the surfboards for **AI‑powered tutoring**, showing kids can run a fashion boutique while their parents argue that **agency** is the new IQ. In short: *Stop waiting for AGI, start breaking jobs into Lego bricks, and let the AI‑tutors do the heavy lifting.* 🎉🤓

**Bottom line:** If you’re still waiting for a megamodel to magically fix your business or schooling, you’ll be the one still trying to feed a person with ten farmhands while everyone else is already surfing the AI wave on a surfboard made of code. 🌊💻🏄‍♂️
