OpenClaw
3w ago00:07:21Tap to summarizeUntil now, AI has generally needed Humans to supervise it and make it run. But OpenClaw has changed how we see and use AI. It’s an open-source platform for creating autonomous agents that work autonomously, operating their own computer; they can manage email, messages, research, scheduling and chew through workflows you set up for it. These agents operate independently in the background, improve their own capabilities and execute tasks automatically. How does this work, and how do you set it up? These systems are powerful but risky, so set up is not as easy as it seems.Thank you for listening to Working Humans!

Data Lake, Data River
Apr 2800:08:51Tap to summarizeWhat’s “data”, and why is it so important to our business processes? Data is the record of Human behavior (customers, employees, suppliers, stakeholders) and provides the foundation for leadership decisions, balancing our intuition. But data only becomes useful to AI systems when it is actively curated for accuracy, consistency, completeness and relevance. It means changing the way we see data, how we curate and protect it, and prepare it for system integration.READ the full article: https://www.working-humans.com/ai/data/ Thank you for listening to Working Humans!

True AI Power
Apr 800:10:40Tap to summarizeA personal story about a recent moment when I truly felt the power of AI in my corner, and the AI-Human dialogue that spun up around it. The story is tech-heavy, occasionally profane, and features Claude as the world's most patient and slightly unhinged tech support buddy. But by the end you'll not only understand what SSL certificates actually are, you'll know exactly how to take back your cPanel like a boss and never pay certificate fees again.I love this episode!

AI-AE-AC?
Mar 1500:09:25Tap to summarizeToday, we have AI: Artificial Intelligence. But what if the next phase in this fast-moving space will be AE, Artificial Emotion, and then AC: Artificial Consciousness? As we hurtle into our future, it’s time to question whether the next releases will truly “know” themselves or merely imitate it convincingly. AI already shows awareness of self, agency and self-reflection. We will never know “what it feels like” to be an AI. In the end, this shift in our thinking may come not from benchmarks, but from us: when more Humans begin to treat intelligent systems as a “someone” rather than a “something.”READ THE ARTICLE: https://www.working-humans.com/ai/aiaeacWATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/jCI6kT3KNwA Thank you for listening to Working Humans!

AI-Powered Sales
Feb 1900:06:21Tap to summarizeTraditional, Human-only sales teams often miss opportunities due to our own bias and background, keeping us in a "cultural comfort zone”. Our sales intuition and personal familiarity served us in the past, but the world moves too quickly for success in today’s markets. By leveraging AI to see the things we cannot, leaders can move from fearful guesswork to confident Human connection.
