Shapol led rocket launches before building AI to prevent the wrong switch from crashing your favorite apps. Two-thirds of data center outages are caused by human error.

Someone flipping the wrong switch is all it takes to bring down AWS. Airplanes can't take off, hospitals can't function. AI can fix this.

Shapol, CEO of Entangl, explains how his company is solving this billion-dollar problem with AI-powered autonomous operations that understand every circuit, server, and switch in a data center.

In This Episode:

- Why 18-month generator lead times force risky shortcuts

- How VR trains engineers without touching live systems

- The path from standard operating procedures to AI-guided work

- Space-based data centers and manufacturing futures

- Kevin Kelly's question: What should humans become?

About Shapol:

Shapol and co-founder Antanas previously oversaw four rocket mission launches. Frustrated with engineering design software, they created Entangl - a platform that automates data center operations, generates maintenance procedures in real-time, and integrates with building monitoring systems to predict failures before they happen.
