AI is advancing at lightning speed from agents that automate workflows to LLMs orchestrating complex tasks. But here's the truth: despite the hype around AGI and automation, humans are still at the center of it all.

In this episode, we break down what’s real and what’s exaggerated about AI today. We talk about energy limits, orchestration, memory tools, Microsoft's strategy with Power BI and Azure, and what it actually means to work with AI, not against it.

Whether you're a developer, analyst, or builder, one thing is clear: AI doesn't replace you. It multiplies what you can do.

Topics Covered:

  • Why energy is the real bottleneck to AI progress
  • How LLMs need human orchestration to be useful
  • What makes Microsoft’s data platform unstoppable
  • Why Power BI, Excel & agents are transforming work
  • The real conversation around AGI and compute limits
