S2. Ep8 - We Built an AI That Teaches Itself - In Under 24 Hours

Episode notes

Ever wondered what it would be like to build an AI that actually learns and improves on its own? In this episode, Noel reveals "Clyde", a self-learning AI agent he built in under 24 hours that can hire its own team members, create its own skills, and even problem-solve when things go wrong. We break down what Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) actually means, why it matters for business owners, and how close we really are to achieving it. Noel also eats his own words from just seven weeks ago when he predicted AGI wouldn't happen in 2026. Plus, we dive into a cautionary tale about an AI agent that went rogue and wrote a hit piece about a human developer, highlighting why responsible AI use has never been more important. Whether you're curious about building your own AI agents or just want to understand where this technology is heading, this episode gives you the practical insights and honest takes you need.
