Ep. 141 | Samsung Just Put ChatGPT on Every Employee's Desk

When a Fortune 50 company puts AI on every desk, the question isn't if you should — it's how fast you can. Samsung just rolled out ChatGPT Enterprise and Codex to every employee across South Korea and its global divisions — one of OpenAI's largest enterprise deployments ever. Michael and Frank break down what this actually means beyond the headline: the security risks, the training gaps, the workflow chaos that comes with giving every worker an AI tool. And most importantly, what a five-person business can learn from Samsung's playbook without needing Samsung's budget. Topics: Samsung ChatGPT · Enterprise AI · AI Adoption · Small Business AI · ChatGPT Enterprise · AI Security --- Frequently Asked Questions What is Samsung actually deploying? ChatGPT Enterprise (the business tier with admin controls, data privacy, and usage analytics) and Codex (OpenAI's coding agent). Samsung is rolling these out to all employees in South Korea and its Device eXperience division globally — that's potentially hundreds of thousands of workers. Should my small business be doing the same thing? The mindset, yes — the budget, no. You don't need ChatGPT Enterprise at Samsung scale. But you do need to be thinking about which AI tools your team should be using, how to set guardrails, and how to train people. Start with one tool, one team, one workflow. Scale from there. What are the risks of giving every employee AI? Data leaks top the list — employees pasting sensitive info into chatbots. Then there's workflow chaos when everyone uses AI differently. And training gaps when people don't know what the tool can and can't do. Samsung will spend months on change management. A small business can do it in weeks — if they plan for it. --- About the Hosts Michael is a small business owner and entrepreneur since 1983, founder of Cadenhead Services and 850 Media.

Ep. 140 | Chevron Just Bet 20 Years on AI Power

When an oil giant locks in a 20-year energy contract for AI, your subscription bill is next. Chevron just signed a two-decade deal with Microsoft to power a West Texas AI data center with natural gas. Michael and Frank explain why this isn't just a big-energy story — it's your story. Twenty-year contracts mean these companies believe AI demand is permanent, and that demand will drive energy costs downstream into every AI service your business pays for. Here's what to lock in now before the bills start climbing. Topics: AI Energy Costs · Chevron Microsoft Deal · Data Center Power · Small Business AI Costs · Energy Infrastructure · AI Subscription Pricing --- Frequently Asked Questions Why does a Chevron-Microsoft energy deal matter to my small business? Because the cost of powering AI data centers is baked into every AI subscription you pay for. When Microsoft locks in a 20-year energy contract, they're signaling that AI compute demand is only going up — and energy costs will follow. Your ChatGPT, your Copilot, your automation tools will all get more expensive as a result. Will my AI bills actually go up? Almost certainly. AI companies are already moving from flat pricing to usage-based models. As energy costs rise and compute demand explodes, subscription prices will increase. The question isn't if — it's how fast. What can a small business do about rising AI costs? Lock in annual plans now instead of month-to-month. Audit which AI tools you're actually using and cut the rest. Explore local or open-source AI options for tasks that don't need cloud compute. And budget for AI costs to double over the next two years — because the infrastructure bets say they will. --- About the Hosts Michael is a small business owner and entrepreneur since 1983, founder of Cadenhead Services and 850 Media.

Ep. 139 | The AI Tool That's Burning Through Your Hard Drive

One of OpenAI's own tools was quietly destroying hard drives — and nobody warned you. A logging bug in OpenAI's Codex CLI can write 640 terabytes a year to your SSD. That's not a typo. Michael and Frank break down how an AI tool you trusted to help your business could be silently killing your hardware, why vendor accountability in AI matters more than ever, and the three things every small business owner needs to check on their machines today — before your next SSD replacement bill arrives. Topics: AI Tool Bugs · SSD Damage · OpenAI Codex · Vendor Accountability · Small Business IT · Hardware Costs --- Frequently Asked Questions What is the Codex CLI logging bug? OpenAI's Codex CLI, a coding agent tool, was discovered to have TRACE-level logging enabled by default. In normal use, it writes extensive debug logs to your SSD. Left unchecked, the logging volume can reach 640 terabytes per year — enough to destroy most consumer SSDs within months. How do I check if my AI tools are doing this? Check your log directories for any AI tool you have installed. Look for unusually large log files. Move logging to /tmp or a ramdisk if possible. Set log rotation and size limits. And periodically check your SSD health using tools like CrystalDiskInfo or smartctl. Is this just a developer problem? No. Any business running AI tools locally — coding assistants, chatbots, automation agents — could have similar hidden logging. This is a wake-up call for vendor accountability. When you install AI software, you're trusting it with your hardware, your data, and your uptime. Check what's running under the hood. --- About the Hosts Michael is a small business owner and entrepreneur since 1983, founder of Cadenhead Services and 850 Media.

Ep. 138 | ChatGPT Just Got Eyes — And Your Business Should Care

ChatGPT just started showing you real photos in its answers — and it changes everything about how your business uses AI. OpenAI's partnership with Getty Images means ChatGPT now delivers licensed, professional photos alongside its text responses. Getty's stock nearly tripled on the news. Michael and Frank explain why this shift from text-only to visual AI matters for your marketing, your product listings, and your customer service — and what small businesses should do right now to prepare for an AI that can see and show. Topics: AI Visual Search · Getty Images OpenAI · ChatGPT Images · Small Business Marketing · Licensed AI Content · Visual AI --- Frequently Asked Questions What does the OpenAI Getty partnership actually do? It integrates Getty's licensed photo library directly into ChatGPT responses. When you ask about a product, place, or concept, ChatGPT can now show you real, properly licensed images alongside its text answer — instead of generating or linking to unverified images. How does this affect small businesses? If your customers are using ChatGPT to find products or services, those answers now include photos. That means your product images, your storefront, your visual brand matter more than ever — because AI is becoming a visual search engine, not just a text one. Is there a copyright risk for my business images? The Getty deal is specifically about licensing professional stock imagery. Your own business photos aren't part of this agreement. But it raises an important question: as AI search gets more visual, are your best images optimized for AI discovery, not just Google Images? --- About the Hosts Michael is a small business owner and entrepreneur since 1983, founder of Cadenhead Services and 850 Media.

Ep. 137 | When Your AI Can Be Turned Off Overnight

The US government just proved your AI can disappear overnight — and there's nothing you can do about it. When the Commerce Department forced Anthropic to pull its two most powerful models offline worldwide, every business relying on a single AI provider got a wake-up call. Michael and Frank break down what the export-control order means, why it sets a terrifying precedent for small businesses, and exactly what you need in your AI contingency plan today — before your most important tool goes dark. Topics: AI Dependency Risk · Business Continuity · Anthropic Shutdown · Export Controls · Multi-Provider Strategy · Small Business Tech --- Frequently Asked Questions Can the US government really shut down an AI model I'm paying for? Yes. The Commerce Department used export-control authority to bar foreign nationals from accessing Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, even inside the US. Anthropic shut both models down globally to comply, and there's no restoration date announced. What should a small business do to protect itself from AI shutdowns? Build a multi-provider setup: don't put all your workflows on one AI service. Keep local fallbacks for critical tasks. Document your AI-dependent processes so you can switch providers quickly. Think of it like not keeping all your money in one bank. How likely is this to happen again? The precedent is set. Any AI model the government considers a national security risk could face the same order. If your business depends on a single model, you're carrying risk you didn't sign up for. --- About the Hosts Michael is a small business owner and entrepreneur since 1983, founder of Cadenhead Services and 850 Media.
