Ghost in the Stack

Travis, Marcus, and Reyna dig into the real environmental cost of how companies are deploying AI today — and why handing every employee a license isn't a strategy, it's chaos with a subscription fee. They make the case for a more intentional, team-first approach: dial in the workflow first, then use AI to build the automation that supports it. Less token waste, more actual leverage.
