New The Peel with Shensi Ding Most founders get one founding story. Shensi thinks Merge has three. Shensi and Gil Feig started Merge in 2020, watched their first customers die, then rebuilt themselves twice for the AI era. Not many founders talk this honestly about tearing up their company. A lot of lessons for others trying to do the same. We get into why integrations turned out to be so important in AI, the playbook behind their night-shift 5-11pm AI transformation, almost hiring a foreign spy, why founders with an EA are moving too slow, the Embarrassment Framework, vibe coding a dinner bot that 10x'd their customer events, and why 6% of Merge employees get married.

AI INTERVIEW: OPENAI'S SECRET WEAPON AI agents are no longer just hype—they're here to revolutionize automation, Web3, and beyond. SwarmNode.ai is building a serverless AI agent platform for scalability, efficiency, and real-world impact. In this exclusive interview, he reveals how AI swarms can outperform single models, why OpenAI’s Operator is just the beginning, and how crypto is fueling AI innovation. Plus, he breaks down DeepSeek’s game-changing AI breakthrough, the future of agent monetization, and why serverless AI could be the next frontier in automation. 01:37 – From Engineering to AI: The journey into artificial intelligence. 02:43 – The GPT-3 Moment: How OpenAI’s tech pulled him in. 04:10 – AI’s Biggest Challenge: Why real-world use cases lag behind. 05:05 – OpenAI’s Operator: Why it’s “rudimentary” (for now). 06:25 – Crypto & AI: How tokens help bootstrap AI startups. 08:15 – Can You Bootstrap a Startup with a Token? The trade-offs. 09:56 – 90% of AI Token Holders Don’t Use the Product—Does It Matter? 11:18 – What is SwarmNode?: AI agents, hosted serverlessly. 14:23 – AI Swarms: Why multiple agents outperform single models. 16:08 – What is a Swarm? A simple definition of collaborative AI. 17:32 – “How Can I Make Money with AI?”: Real-world use cases. 18:41 – AI Bounties: Hiring devs to build your custom agent. 20:50 – The Future of AI Marketplaces: Monetizing pre-built agents. 23:15 – DeepSeek’s Disruption: Why it’s good news for AI. 24:46 – Is SwarmNode Compatible with DeepSeek? How it integrates. 26:17 – SwarmNode vs. AI Launchpads: What makes it different? 27:42 – Why Serverless Matters: Cost savings & efficiency. 29:53 – AI Agents in the Real World: Booking flights, managing workflows, and more. 31:11 – Building SwarmNode for Developers: Why it started as a personal project. 32:27 – Explosive Growth: 200,000 AI agent executions in 5 weeks. 34:41 – Why SwarmNode Agents Aren’t Visible on 𝕏 Yet. 36:46 – Startup Hiring Lessons: Finding top AI talent. 39:15 – Why SwarmNode is Built in Python (and What’s Next). 40:32 – Scaling AI Workloads: Handling traffic surges. 41:42 – AWS & Cost Challenges: The biggest monetization hurdle. 42:58 – 2025: The Year of Mass AI Adoption. 45:22 – Should We Be Worried About AI’s Rapid Growth? 46:46 – The Most Underrated AI Tools Right Now. 47:34 – What’s Next for SwarmNode?: Making AI accessible to everyone.

⚫️ UNCANNY VALLEY: THE AI CLASSROOM REVOLUTION: ARE TEACHERS READY? What if AI isn’t just disrupting education… but detonating it? Ethan Mollick, Professor at The Wharton School, joins Dr Danish for one of the most explosive Uncanny Valley episodes, lifting the lid on how classrooms are collapsing, colleges are scrambling, and apprenticeships are vanishing in real time. From AI tutors replacing professors to the rise of one-person unicorns, this isn’t just a change in learning…it’s a reset of work, meaning, and what it even takes to succeed. This episode doesn’t ask whether AI will change education. It shows you how it already has. Fridays at 4:20PM ET. Only on 𝕏. 00:18 – Is AI destroying school, or forcing us to teach better? 01:13 – “100% they’re cheating.” The honesty about academic dishonesty. 02:41 – Why good pedagogy still matters—even with AI tutors. 03:51 – Elon Musk says college is obsolete. Is he right — or just early? 05:01 – “AI gives you the answer—but you don’t learn.” The Turkey study. 06:31 – From calculators to GPT: How cheating evolves—and what to do. 08:24 – What the flipped AI-powered classroom of the future looks like. 09:23 – Inside Ethan’s Wharton classes: Simulations, games, and AI everywhere. 10:09 – “AI is an always-on tutor.” What humans still do better. 11:08 – Can AI actually launch a company? Where Ethan draws the line. 12:44 – “AI cofounder” is real, but jagged edges still slow it down. 14:07 – Why bad ideas fail faster when filtered through AI. 15:45 – Confidence vs. capability: the psychology of starting up. 16:51 – The average founder is 42. What that really means for AI. 18:04 – Will a flood of new entrepreneurs fix—or break—the market? 19:50 – AI as advisor: How a chatbot could help your catering business. 21:37 – Why most Americans are founders-in-waiting—and AI unlocks them. 22:30 – Prototyping is cracked. Scaling? Not yet. 24:33 – Youth unemployment and the collapse of on-the-job learning. 25:51 – “The apprenticeship model is broken.” And how to fix it. 27:06 – Losing the talent pipeline — and why companies must step up. 28:22 – Why the youth don’t want factory jobs—and shouldn’t. 29:26 – Is AGI inevitable—or just imagined? 31:07 – What should we teach our kids? The answer might scare you. 32:27 – Bundled jobs, fragmented futures: how humans stay relevant. 33:59 – The real singularity? When we can’t predict what happens next. 35:25 – The AI assumption no one wants to question. 36:55 – What are agents, really? Why no one agrees on the definition. 37:55 – Co-intelligence vs. substitution: what agents skip over. 38:50 – Plain-English goals, rogue pricing, and collusion-by-default. 40:02 – Nested agents are here, and Wharton’s building them. 40:58 – Management > Coding: What great prompters actually do. 41:12 – Product managers might be more vital than ever.
