## Resource

Reese Witherspoon just dropped a truth bomb: women’s jobs are 3x more likely to be automated by AI, yet women are using it 25% less than men. Instead of applause, authors and the literary world slammed her for saying “It’s time to learn AI.” In this episode, Simone & Malcolm Collins break down the controversy, why Reese is right (and surprisingly based), the hilarious meltdown from writers like Roxane Gay, and what it means for the future of filmmaking, creativity, and women in tech. They also dive into: * Reese’s earlier call for “more girl bosses in AI” * How AI is transforming Hollywood (and why fighting it is self-sabotage) * The gender divide in AI adoption — and how approachable agent tools can help * Milla Jovovich’s impressive open-source AI memory palace * Why refusing to learn AI is the fastest way to get left behind If you want to stay relevant in the AI revolution — whether you’re a creator, professional, or just don’t want to be replaced — this is the wake-up call. Watch until the end for a fun chat about high vs. low camp, family life, and why the people embracing AI will dominate the next era. 💡 Want to get started with AI the easy way?
