Thadd isn’t just theorizing about AI agents; he’s running a fleet of them in parallel every day across multiple projects. We dig into what happens to value, intellectual property, and labor as production costs collapse, and why efficiency is only the opening round, not the real competitive advantage of AI. We also talk about managing parallel agents without losing your mind, the comeback of hardware, why on-prem/local will matter more than most people think, and why IP is actually more valuable now in a world flooded with slop. Plus, how he built an early chatbot trained on the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas.03:12 Working With Agents04:44 Aquinas Chat Origins10:28 Beyond Efficiency20:49 Net New Value24:28 Create Net New Value25:02 Decouple Labor From Value27:58 Outcome Value Shift30:26 Future Digital Assets34:35 Three AI Futures37:58 IP And Distribution40:56 Local Hardware Shift42:42 Client AI DisclosureConnect with Thadd:https://www.linkedin.com/in/thad-ruszkowski/Connect with Raul: • Work with Raul: https://dogoodwork.io • Free Growth Resources: https://dogoodwork.io/resources• Connect with Raul on LinkedIn (DMs open): https://www.linkedin.com/in/dogoodwork/ ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ERPXc3vfjTBxx5iBsuq9KD5LWG30qzdNvHE-qU82NNA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83ZDhh/MjQ0ZTI0MDUzOThi/MDQyNzNiMDY5YmYw/YzU1NC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
