In Episode 4 of Unhinged AI, Talha Masood talks to Jorge Alcantara about what changes when code gets cheap: why AI projects show no ROI, which roles disappear, and when building your own software beats paying for it.

In this episode, Jorge and Talha cover:

• Why code by itself has zero value, and what actually turns it into something worth paying for
• Why AI projects show no ROI, and why "how do we sell AI" is the wrong question to start from
• Which roles disappear: product managers survive, project managers and scrum masters don't
• Why self-hosting an open source model costs more than it saves until you have around 300 developers
• Build vs buy vs vibe, and what a SaaS subscription really pays for beyond the software
• How a two-founder team went from 15 pull requests a month to over a thousand

In Episode 3 of Unhinged AI, Talha Masood talks to Chris Brady about the real state of AI in construction: what firms are adopting, what they're building themselves, and what the new RICS AI standard demands of them.

In this episode, Chris and Talha cover:

• The real state of AI adoption in UK construction, from owners just discovering ChatGPT to firms running their entire business through Claude
• Why contractors build custom tools with vibe coding platforms but never adopt them
• The 10-80-10 rule for working with AI, and the guardrails that catch hallucinations before a client sees them
• What the RICS AI standard requires: AI policies, tool registers, risk registers, and client disclosures
• How AI workflows changed quoting, tendering, and construction document management for small contractors
• Why every business will eventually run on its own operating system instead of a stack of SaaS subscriptions

Most founders pay for tools they barely use. A few decided to stop.

In Episode 2 of Unhinged AI, we sit down with two builders who ditched the SaaS subscription cycle and started building their own internal tools with AI — navigating the wins, the failures, and everything that broke along the way.

From prompting dashboards into existence to walking away from a three-day Microsoft Teams chatbot experiment, this is an unfiltered look at what vibe coding actually looks like in practice.

• Katrina Laszlo (Founder at Tanzo): How a product manager background became a superpower for building with AI — and why she ditched Lovable for Claude Code in the terminal.
• Brian Wade (Media & Consumer Investor): Building custom deal-flow tools when Prequin and PitchBook cost tens of thousands per seat — and what it's like to ship a weekend project end-to-end.

• Build vs. Buy: When it makes sense to build your own tools and when to just pay the subscription.
• Maintaining What You Build: The honest reality of things breaking — and the mindset that keeps you moving.
• Vibe Coding in Practice: The tools, stacks, and workflows these founders actually use day to day.
• The Future of SaaS: Which tools are on the chopping block — and which ones aren't going anywhere.
