  • Daniel Miessler Interview about Future of AI (Jan. 26)
    Jan 30 2026

    Welcome to episode 183 of the AI for Career Success podcast from Curt Robbins. This educational content is designed to give working professionals who leverage AI as a tool for efficiency and productivity a competitive edge.

    In this episode, hosts Daphne Blake and Fred Jones unpack a new interview with cybersecurity expert and AI guru Daniel Miessler published on YouTube on January 26 entitled "How and Why I Built PAI."

    Daphne and Fred condense this informative two-hour interview into only 10 minutes because most IT professionals and knowledge workers simply don't have two hours to spare.

    Miessler discusses his Personal AI Infrastructure (PAI), his framework built on Claude Code that centers on individual goals rather than just tasks. He predicts that AI will replace most labor, urging users to adopt agentic scaffolding and memory systems to adapt.
