Does AI really save time?
Wednesday, 18 February, 2026
In this episode, Reid and Aria examine a growing tension at the heart of the AI moment: whether these tools are actually saving time or simply accelerating the pace, volume, and expectations of work. The conversation touches on workflows across investing, engineering, legal, and management and why faster output rarely means less work. From there, Aria and Reid engage with competing essays about the AI moment, pushing back on both apocalyptic predictions of immediate white-collar collapse and dismissive claims that today’s AI are merely “tool-shaped objects.” The episode closes with a reframing of AI not as an inevitable force of gravity, but as a strategic capability that rewards those who are able to learn how to adapt more effectively as the landscape continues to shift.
