The boys dive deep into the fascinating world of decision-making algorithms on this episode of Admin Access. They explore how they're reshaping everything from business strategy to our daily lives. Dominic kicks things off with the explore-exploit algorithm from "Algorithms to Live By," breaking down how this computer science principle can revolutionize how we think about career choices, startup strategies, and even when to stop exploring new restaurants and stick with your favorite spot. The conversation takes an electrifying turn as Evans unpacks the nuclear power renaissance that's quietly happening around the globe. From Denmark's investment plans to Big Tech companies like Amazon and Google building their own nuclear centers to fuel their AI data centers, the boys explore how geopolitical tensions, energy resilience, and the insatiable hunger for AI compute power are making nuclear energy cool again. They also take on Sequoia Capital's latest AI insights from their Ascent AI conference. The boys break down why startups should forget about building the next ChatGPT and focus on solving real customer problems in the application layer instead. Think Harvey AI for lawyers or Open Evidence as a WebMD killer, these vertical, function-specific solutions are where the real money lives. They also explore the mind-bending future of AI agents and how we're racing toward a world where swarms of specialized AI workers could handle entire business functions while you sleep. The episode wraps up with Evans as he shares his favorite phone automation hacks using Samsung's Good Lock and Fine Lock apps, turning simple gestures into productivity superpowers. From back-tapping to open Spotify to power-button shortcuts for quick task creation, these automations make your phone feel like it's running on some secret pro firmware.
