All right, there's a lot of stuff going on, specifically AI stuff. It feels like every day, there's a new crazy story about AI. So, I wanted to do a little bit with you, Sam. Crazy AI stories, one crazier than the next. Except they get crazier every single story.

I was talking to a friend, and he was like, I was trying to talk to my boss about something. Apparently, the boss had made four or five agents that he calls employees. The boss replied to the feedback of like, we need to create X, Y, and Z. The boss said, can you talk to my chief of staff about that? So this person had to go and message the chief of staff, and was messaging the chief of staff, and they weren't getting the answer that they wanted. They go to the boss again and go, hey, your chief of staff sucks.
What's their deal? And the boss said, well, can you tell her boss, my head of operations? And so he literally had to go to the boss of the agent to say, can we get this person on a PIP? And this whole boss, this boss of this 50-person organization, was referring to these people as people, and making his real-life employees interact with them. Have you done anything that extreme with AI and agents?
**Sam Parr** (1:27)
No, but I find the whole, hey, I'm going to have this entire autonomous company of agents and then me on top thing to be so funny, because it's like, who says you get to be on top?
Why would you be the all-knowing? If AI is so good that it could do all these jobs, you think it just can't do yours? Why is yours so special? And it reminds me of a, what's that poem where it's like, first they came for the socialists and I did not speak out. And then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out. And then they came for this. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out. That's basically what I think is happening with AI.

I, Andrew Wilkinson came out with this personality test and I took it and it was really cool. And then listen to this, my wife and I did it together because there's like a thing where you could share it with your spouse. And then there's one where you could share it with their business partner. So I told my business partner to do it. And he mistakenly shared the wife version that he, and it said that like it talked about like our sexual compatibility, like are we compatible or not? What you share with your wives? I shared it with my wife and I go, Joe, this is cool, do this. He did this on his own and he was like, oh, I did it with my wife too, it was really fun. And I was like, hey, there's a button.
**Sam Parr** (2:40)
He shared that back to you.
**Shaan Puri** (2:42)
And I was like, there's a button that you can click and we could see how business partners, how we are compatible. And he mistakenly, he sent me the partner one, which meant love partner, not business partner. But there was another button that said coworker. He meant to click the coworker button. And I'm like, well, good news, we are very sexually compatible.
And so he sent that to me. But I have Claude read my Slack and it gives me advice on how to reply to our Slacks based off of each other's personalities. It's insane.
**Sam Parr** (3:17)
Wow. It's just incredible.
I mean, I could see the cynical take. I see it. See it right in front of me. But at the same time, it's something cool, right? So, okay, give me an example. What did it coach you? What did it teach you differently?
**Shaan Puri** (3:30)
Well, today it was like, you know, Joe, if you criticize the organization, because he's the CEO, he's gonna react defensively. And that's one of his like, that's one of his things. And he tends to get defensive if you criticize X, Y and Z. So instead of criticizing it this way, say, my opinion is, you know, we should do this instead. Or for me, it was like, you know, Sam tends to criticize bluntly, but he doesn't mean it in a mean way. And so like, it just has helped us communicate. It's been really effective.
**Sam Parr** (3:58)
But he does like kisses on the neck.
**Shaan Puri** (4:00)
Yeah, but like, if you see him, just like smack him on the ass and tell him you appreciate him. So what's your first crazy story?
