Why AI Isn't Making You More Productive (It's Your Work Slop) | Ep 313

Why AI Isn't Making You More Productive (It's Your Work Slop) | Ep 313

In this episode, the widening gap between AI optimism and skepticism takes center stage, with employee trust in AI declining year over year even as 2026 models leap past everything before them. The real culprit behind flat productivity metrics gets named directly: work slop, unreviewed AI output that dumps the verification burden on the receiving party. Real-world proof points anchor the argument, from a $40 million business built in two years to Salesforce spending $300 million annually on Claude API tokens.

Marc Benioff's Theory: The Missing Layer Between You and AI | Ep 312

In this episode, the compounding productivity gains from AI workflows take center stage, framed against a debate over whether human talent now breaks even against raw token costs. The argument lands on a double-factor effect (models improving while operator skill improves week over week) and pulls in Mark Benioff's view that a middleware layer will soon sit between LLMs and end users to stop tokens being wasted rebuilding work from scratch. Serious Land Capital ties it back to its own roadmap, moving deal-comp analysis from a standalone web app toward an internal cowork-style system.

The Land Game Is Shifting: Inside a Real Entitlement Deal | Ep 311

In this episode, an entitlement deal in the Western US is structured to convert an eight acre parcel into a fully platted 36 home site project, with a national home builder already locked under an LOI. The underlying land runs roughly $2M against a $4M builder LOI, with all-in soft costs of $200K to $300K. Serious Land Capital funds only the soft costs, tranched to milestones, in exchange for a 20% preferred return that accelerates to a 100% preferred (a 2x) on close plus a portion of the promote.

Louisiana Subdivide: The Land Deal That Tested Our Underwriting | Ep 310

In this episode, the disposition of a $475K Louisiana minor subdivision (three 10-11 acre parcels) finally closes after nearly a year on market, with all three lots under contract following a collapsed second-half 2025 real estate market. The deal moved from a base case underwriting of $29K PPA down to fire-sale pricing, ultimately delivering a projected 1.17x net multiple to investors after aggressive price cuts and back-to-back bidding wars.

Inside the SLC Chat: Building an AI Underwriting Brain | Ep 309

In this episode, the build of SLC Chat (Serious Land Capital's proprietary underwriting AI) gets dissected, from architecture decisions to API economics. The product is positioned against off-the-shelf LLMs that miscompare land deals because they lack proprietary data and nuanced pricing formulas. Total build cost came in around $60 and half a week of solo work.
