On Today’s action packed episode of This Week in Startups, our team is going full AI! Jason is joined by Oliver Korzen and Lukas Durand from the LAUNCH team, alongside Rahul Sood, founder/CEO of Irrevernt Labs and founder of Voodoo PC. With the rise of Clawdbot/Moltbot, the question on everyone’s mind is how fast, how much and how safe! Lukas and Oliver show off the ways that This Week in Startups are automating the hours of research and administrative tasks that take up our days and the what this means for running a podcast and venture firm. Then, Rahul Sood comes on to run through the massive security risks of running a fully authorized Clawdbot, from injection attacks to terminator like behavior. But, Rahul also comes with the strategy to deploy agents in a low risk manner — keep it silo’d!

Key Points

  • AI tools like OpenClaw are rapidly transforming the workplace, enabling significant automation of tasks and potentially increasing individual productivity by up to 100x.
  • The ethical and security implications of AI are critical, as vulnerabilities in AI tools and skills can lead to severe data breaches and misuse, highlighting the need for stringent sandboxing and controlled access.
  • The future of work will heavily favor those with strong system thinking and creative skills, as traditional roles are increasingly automated, making adaptability and innovative problem-solving the most valuable traits in the job market.
