Episode notes
INSIGHT

AI Could Expand Demand By Lowering Costs

  • Lower cost enabled by AI may unlock previously unaffordable legal and dev work, creating new demand rather than simply destroying jobs.
  • Adam argues reduced cost can expand access and create new customers who couldn't afford services before.
ADVICE

Start Side Projects And Learn AI Today

  • Do start side projects and learn AI tools now if you're in a white‑collar role at risk of replacement.
  • Sanjay and Adam warn that aggressive AI adoption and building repeatable AI task specs preserves value and employability.
ADVICE

Make Reusable AI Task Specs

  • Do create reusable AI task specs: perfect a process once and store a document Claude can reuse across projects.
  • Adam recommends making a reference spec for repetitive tasks so Claude implements them reliably without re‑teaching each time.
