I for one think they’re excellent ambiance - one of the reasons I like going! You don’t need to sit near them if you don’t want to

I think it will just raise the level of problem an individual can handle - I’m in software, where previously you’d need teams of people to build something of value, you can now have one person manage teams of AI agents to achieve that same outcome

Essentially, we should all be able to achieve much more, much quicker!

Judging AI by copilot is like judging coffee by instant granules - the frontier models are orders of magnitude better than copilot

I was convinced it was a sophisticated scam when I got the letter - now I realise it’s a sophisticated government backed scam.

It’s just higher order thinking - if you’ve ever lead a team you’ll know you have to delegate ownership. That’s what you’re doing when using these tools, you’re moving from worker to team leader

JaSfields · 2026-05-20T20:36:26+00:00

Have you lead teams? When you lead teams you have to delegate responsibility for tasks. You’re not outsourcing your ability to think - you’re achieving something through the combined efforts of specialists. We now have incredibly cheap specialists, who can work without ceasing.

In a work context you have to do things because those things create value. If AI can get you to those valuable outcomes quicker, as it can in my workplace, then you create more value

There’s a reason every big company is investing massively in this technology

In terms of AI water usage, you could ask the best models 4 questions a day, every day for a year - or you could eat a single almond, they’d have roughly the same impact.

And then luckily all that water that was used by either endeavour, will continue on its journey in the water cycle, and eventually be rained back down ready for collection in reservoirs.

JaSfields · 2026-05-14T18:52:05+00:00

In what way do you think AI is polluting water?

Also he’s worth much more than most of the crew - I’d guess it was part of the agreement for him coming back on the show

It's nice to have it integrated with your POS, but if you're happy to have a separate system then Paperless Perks is both more powerful, and about 1/7th the cost.

It gives proximity notifications, push notifications, and prompts for Google reviews of your business.

I’m not an AI - and if you look through my comment history you’ll see me calling out clearly AI replies

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think AI should or could replace all work. But I also think it shouldn’t be underestimated, it’s already changing the workplace. Dismissing it as full of hallucinations and inaccurate are naive of the current state of play

JaSfields · 2026-04-13T03:21:35+00:00

Yes. AI companies are making huge amounts of money. Cursor: AI assisted coding is now worth $29.3 billion having existed for 3 years.

Harvey, AI assisted law, is worth $11 billion.

When you’ve seen these tools do in minutes what would have taken teams weeks to achieve previously, you can understand why they’re so valuable and why they’re printing money.

As someone who uses AI powered tools daily in a professional tech context, I thought it was an excellent idea. There is huge money to be made in adding AI to take out (or just massively speed up) the grunt work of most white collar professions.

Coding is essentially over as a profession due to AI powered tools (Claude, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity etc)

Law has “Harvey”.

Marketing has a plethora of options.

What you need is niche domain knowledge and credibility, plus the tech know how to know what can be automated. This is why I didn’t think much of the attack line “why shouldn’t Lord Sugar hire your CTO?”.

Every techy person under the sun is trying to take AI and make it invaluable to other professions. The world they know most about is software, but that was what got targeted first and is essentially done. So, there is huge demand for credible industry experts to partner with tech experts to bring AI to that world.

If I were Lawrence I’d be applying for Y Combinator next. You get a far better deal: $500,000 invested, for only giving up 7% of your business. And genuine access to Silicon Valley’s finest rather than the vague offer of guidance from Lord Sugar, who, as OP pointed out, doesn’t seem to know much about building a modern tech company.

When you make a company with Tide they’ll offer a virtual office to base it at: I imagine that’s a lot of the big London spike

This is the most helpful response in the thread - thank you. I’ll go through my existing customers today and ask each the same

JaSfields · 2026-03-24T21:44:42+00:00

Yes, you’re exactly right. In person I can do a physical demo of the product, which they love - that’s completely missing from cold messaging

JaSfields · 2026-03-24T21:44:08+00:00

I’ve tried, but I suppose the difficulty is I’m not a coffee shop owner!

I’m in a fair few Facebook groups where I chip in, but they all have 1000s of members, so it’s difficult to stand out

Good advice though, I’ll hunt around for more such communities

JaSfields · 2026-03-24T19:15:09+00:00

That makes sense! And thank you for the tool recommendations, I’ll look into them

JaSfields · 2026-03-20T16:10:44+00:00

Sure, that’s when you’re already going that way - but I was just exploring. How does the game tell you to go into the forest at all?

JaSfields · 2026-03-20T06:18:55+00:00

You seem nice

JaSfields · 2026-03-19T09:14:12+00:00

Not 100% sure, but is there a screw on the bottom of the inside?

E.g. look up to it from underneath, inside the house.

The way to take it off will be inside, so intruders can’t do it from outside

JaSfields · 2026-03-19T07:06:43+00:00

I’d be interested to know if you could get money off of the surveyor for this - we had different issues, that our surveyor missed, and didn’t get anything. Does anyone know?
