Summary
Daniel Robbins sits down with Cylton Collymore, founder of Sirsi, to unpack the AI hype cycle, the risks of handing over your digital life to agents, and why the current cloud-based AI model may become too expensive for everyday businesses. Cylton draws from his experience across the State Department, Federal Reserve, Meta, and cybersecurity to explain why AI should support human intelligence, not replace it. He also shares why getting pushed out of Meta became the catalyst for building Sirsi, and why founders need to be careful about equity, investors, and who they allow to claim their time and future.
