Popcorn to Protocols

Dolapo kicks things off and the guys do what they do best, chopping it up before landing on a question a lot of people are quietly asking: are movie theatres on the way out? Luke makes the case for the in-person movie experience. Big screen, shared energy, no pausing. The rest of the table is less convinced, breaking down how convenience, cost, and changing habits have shifted how they consume movies. What starts as light banter turns into a bigger conversation about how experiences evolve when technology changes the default. From there, the discussion jumps to agentic AI and its growing role in real-world systems, specifically healthcare. The guys unpack how OpenAI partnering with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation could bring AI-driven healthcare support to parts of Africa where systems are sparse or overstretched. Rather than replacing humans, the group sees this as a force multiplier that strengthens what already exists. As always, the takeaway lives somewhere between skepticism and optimism, with a reminder that technology doesn’t just change tools, it changes how we show up. Wisdom of the day: Technology works best when it strengthens weak systems, not when it tries to replace strong ones.
