Three things to take with you:
Agents are useful and risky. Build one, but start small. Let it draft before it sends, and keep money out of it at first.
AI is changing how professionals charge. If the billable hour is cracking in law, other fields that sell time may be next.
Big bets are getting bigger. From Skydance’s debt-funded merger to the cloud giants, the stakes keep rising.
