One call to make before air. Olga normally starts the StreamYard broadcast. She is out, so that is yours today. Check you can actually start it well before 11:00, not at 10:58.
The link to say out loud and drop in chat. pagemotor.com/practical-ai/episode-56/ep56-slides/ — the three layers, the five parts and all three files, public, zero backstage. Say it once at the end of the deep dive and once in the close.
11:00

Open

Cold open on the story, the way you did on 52. The new hire who can check an eleven-day math proof and cannot write a cold email. Name the show and yourself after, not before. Say Olga is out.

NBC trust poll · ChatGPT Data agent · the AI SDR backlash · OpenAI's safety flip · Suno v6 · Meta Muse. Then rapid fire. Story 3, the AI SDR, is the Short. Every hook goes to camera and chat: ask, count two, answer it yourself. Close on Scott Pitts.

Deep dive · the company becomes the documentation

Eight beats. Open the three tabs before you go live, they link to each other. Credit Olga by name in the callback, it was her segment. Do not open the live Midas project on air, and twelve jobs run, not twenty-four.

Funding · Week 41

AI raised $12.42B across 71 companies, 51.7% of all venture dollars. Four rounds cleared a billion and together they are 80% of it. Strip them and the rest of the market fell 50% against last week. Say “reported” for Crusoe, Fluidstack and Harvey.
