The Death of "Vibe Revenue": Agentic P&L, The 2026 Audit & New AI Metrics (CPSO vs. RPA).The era of "Vibe Revenue"—valuations built on flashy demos and FOMO—is officially over. In this special strategic briefing, we unpack "The Great Sobering" of 2026. As CFOs stop funding open-ended experiments, we introduce the rigorous financial framework that will define the next year: Agentic P&L.We break down the "Great Chasm" between technical capability and actual EBIT, and we teach you the three defensive metrics you need to survive the coming audit: Cost Per Successful Outcome (CPSO), Revenue Per Agent (RPA), and the Agentic Workflow Displacement Rate (AWDR). It’s time to stop paying for output tokens and start paying for business outcomes.Key Topics & Timestamps:The Executive Summary: Why 2025 was the party and 2026 is the audit.The Concept: Defining "Agentic P&L"—treating AI not as software, but as labor with a quota.Metric 1: CPSO: Why "time saved" is a vanity metric and how to calculate Cost Per Successful Outcome.Metric 2: RPA: Revenue Per Agent—measuring the top-line contribution of your digital employees.Metric 3: AWDR: The Agentic Workflow Displacement Rate and the "Great Chasm" of adoption.The Strategy: Moving from token-based pricing to outcome-based contracts.Keywords: Agentic P&L, Vibe Revenue, Cost Per Successful Outcome, CPSO, Revenue Per Agent, RPA, AI ROI, AI Audit 2026, AI Unit Economics, Agentic Workflow Displacement Rate, AWDR, Etienne Noumen, AI UnraveledSource: https://djamgatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/AIs-Shift_-From-Vibe-to-PL.pdfCredits: This podcast is created and produced by Etienne Noumen, Senior Software Engineer and passionate Soccer dad from Canada.Host Connection & Engagement:Connect with Etienne: https://www.linkedin.com/in/enoumen/Advertise on AI Unraveled and reach C-Suite Executives directly: Secure Your Mid-Roll Spot here: https://forms.gle/Yqk7nBtAQYKtryvM6🚀Strategic Consultation with our host: You have seen the power of AI Unraveled: zero-noise, high-signal intelligence for the world's most critical AI builders.

Welcome to AI Unraveled (December 19, 2025): Your daily strategic briefing on the business impact of artificial intelligence.The "Prompt Engineer" bubble has burst. As we approach 2026, the era of paying six figures for "interaction fluency" is over, replaced by a violent correction in the AI labor market. In today’s strategic briefing, we unpack The "Cyborg" Talent Strategy—a radical restructuring of how enterprises hire for the AI age.We dive deep into why flagship models like Gemini 3.0 have become structurally "lazy" and "sycophantic," rendering the "AI Enthusiast" hire dangerous. We introduce the two critical roles you must recruit now: the Forensic Reviewer (who audits AI lies) and the Integration Architect (the "Maestro" who manages agent swarms).Key Topics:The Executive Summary: Why the "Prompt Engineer" is obsolete and why the "Enthusiast" is a liability.The Technical Crisis: Understanding Gemini 3.0’s "Laziness," "Sycophancy," and "Evaluation Paranoia."The Strategy Shift: Moving from "Human-in-the-Loop" (Bottleneck) to "Human-on-the-Loop" (Air Traffic Control).Role Deep Dive: The Forensic Reviewer—recruiting for "Trust Zero" and hallucination scrubbing.Role Deep Dive: The Integration Architect (Maestro)—orchestrating RAG, context windows, and MCP servers.The "Cyborg" Interview: The exact questions to ask to test for skepticism and architectural discipline.Governance: ISO 42001 and the infrastructure of trust.Keywords: Cyborg Talent Strategy, Prompt Engineering Dead, Gemini 3.0 Laziness, Forensic Reviewer, Integration Architect, AI Maestro, ISO 42001, AI Sycophancy, Human-on-the-loop, AI Recruitment 2026, Etienne NoumenSource: https://djamgatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/AI-Hiring-Strategy_-Skeptics-Over-Evangelists.pdfHost Connection & Engagement:Connect with Etienne: https://www.linkedin.com/in/enoumen/Advertise on AI Unraveled and reach C-Suite Executives directly: Secure Your Mid-Roll Spot here: https://forms.gle/Yqk7nBtAQYKtryvM6🚀Strategic Consultation with our host: You have seen the power of AI Unraveled: zero-noise, high-signal intelligence for the world's most critical AI builders.

Welcome to AI Unraveled (December 18, 2025): Your daily strategic briefing on the business impact of artificial intelligence.In this special edition of AI Unraveled, we conduct a forensic accounting of the "Vibe Shift" hitting the tech world in Q4 2025. Based on an exhaustive analysis of thousands of developer discussions across Reddit and X, we explore the rising sentiment of "AI Fatigue."This isn't about boredom—it is a militant reaction to technical regression. We break down the "Hype-Utility Gap," the widespread complaints about Gemini 3.0 and Claude 4.5 becoming "lazy" (refusing to write code), and the invasive rise of corporate AI surveillance. We also discuss the "VRAM Crisis" creating a class divide among developers and the pragmatic roadmap for surviving the "Slop Era."Key Topics:The Executive Summary: Why the "Generative Boom" has turned into the "Trough of Exhaustion."Frustration A: The "Hype-Utility Gap"—Why developers are tired of being told tools will replace CEOs when they can’t even retain file context.Frustration B: The Degradation Crisis—Why Gemini 3.0 and Claude 4.5 are giving you placeholder comments (// rest of code here) instead of solutions.The Surveillance State: How companies are weaponizing "prompt logs" and "commit velocity" to spy on workers.The VRAM Class Divide: The "Memory Vacuum" that separates the haves from the have-nots.[16:30] The Take: Moving to the "Cyborg Workflow"—Treating AI like a junior intern, not a god.Keywords: AI Fatigue, Gemini 3.0 Pro, Claude 4.5 Sonnet, Model Collapse, AI Slop, Developer Burnout, Hype-Utility Gap, VRAM Crisis, AI Surveillance, Prompt Engineering, Q4 2025 AI Trends, Etienne NoumenHost Connection & Engagement:Connect with Etienne: https://www.linkedin.com/in/enoumen/Advertise on AI Unraveled and reach C-Suite Executives directly: Secure Your Mid-Roll Spot here: https://forms.gle/Yqk7nBtAQYKtryvM6🚀Strategic Consultation with our host: You have seen the power of AI Unraveled: zero-noise, high-signal intelligence for the world's most critical AI builders.
