AI Money, Metal, and Limits
2d ago00:08:47Tap to summarizeA lot of this week's AI news sounds like confidence. Bigger chips, bigger raises, bigger public promises. The more interesting question is whether the underlying logic is actually improving, or whether the industry is just getting better at financing its own story.NVIDIA shifts the center of gravityMeta wants wearables and gets burned on securityThe ROI gap and the token rationing eraIPO timing and Google's giant raiseWho should own the upsideThis podcast was created with Podkey.

Transcribe →The Token Economy
4d ago00:09:05Tap to summarizeA lot of the AI story used to sound simple: smarter models, more users, bigger valuations. Now the harder question is who pays for every generated token, who controls the machines that produce them, and whether any of this spending actually creates value.From seats to tokensSticker shock and the token shortageWhen metrics go badWhat successful use actually looks likeThe new moat is physicalPolicy starts following the economicsWhat holds upThis podcast was created with Podkey.

Transcribe →When Goals Become Agents
5d ago00:08:32Tap to summarizeA lot of AI product launches are basically UI glitter. This one might be more structural. When every major lab starts copying the same behavior within weeks, it's worth asking whether we're seeing hype, or a new default way to work with models.Slash goal as a new primitiveWhy looping mattersThe monothread and durable stateWhat makes a goal actually workableThe Goldilocks scope problemWhy this may matter more outside codingRubrics, controls, and the enterprise gapThis podcast was created with Podkey.

Transcribe →Models, Money, and AI Moats
6d ago00:09:03Tap to summarizeA lot of this week's AI news looks huge on the surface: better models, giant valuations, giant funding rounds, giant infrastructure bets. But the harder question is whether the value is really in the model, the wrapper around it, the workflow, or just the market's willingness to believe the next layer up is the durable moat.Anthropic's Opus 4.8 and what actually improvedAnthropic's valuation and what it impliesEnterprise AI strategy beyond buying point toolsGPT-5.5, Cognition, and changing developer expectationsMeta's compute hedgeThis podcast was created with Podkey.

Transcribe →Physics Frontiers and Robotaxis
1w ago00:11:46Tap to summarizeTwo big promises are on the table today. Physics keeps chasing a final theory, and transportation keeps promising cars that drive themselves. In both cases, the interesting part is not the headline. It's the gap between what seems conceptually elegant and what actually survives contact with data, engineering, cost, and human institutions.How physics keeps unifyingThe Higgs and what it did solveMatter, antimatter, and the cost of making itWhy anything exists at allDark matter, dark energy, and quantum gravityHow the LHC actually finds anythingAutonomy's promise versus deployment realityThe sensor and business model tradeoffsTrust, liability, and the weirdness problemThis podcast was created with Podkey.

Transcribe →Tokens, Benchmarks, and Agent Debt
1w ago00:09:37Tap to summarizeA lot of this week comes down to one question: what actually matters now, raw model intelligence, or everything wrapped around it. Because the stories all rhyme. Verification matters. Token costs matter. Maintenance matters. And the hype gets a lot shakier once those constraints show up.What DeepSWE actually showsSelf-verification as a capabilityEfficiency changes the leaderboardThe token crunch underneath the marketWhy infrastructure investors are crowding inAgent debt is becoming normal enterprise workSlowdown narratives and the jobs questionDeveloper workflows are shiftingDo token taxes make senseThis podcast was created with Podkey.

Transcribe →AI Scale and Human Limits
1w ago00:10:16Tap to summarizeA model finds ten thousand serious software bugs, and the impressive part isn't just the model. It's the backlog that comes after: who verifies them, who patches them, who decides what gets disclosed, and who gets left exposed while institutions catch up.Anthropic Mythos and government demandThe human triage bottleneckDeepSeek's cheap tokens and expensive backingGrok's scale-up and premium tierThe Pope's AI encyclicalThis podcast was created with Podkey.

Transcribe →Executives, AI, and Real Adoption
2w ago00:08:33Tap to summarizeA lot of companies say they're doing AI when what they really have is a slide deck, a chatbot trial, and rising expectations. The interesting question is what actually changes when a leader uses these tools well enough to shape the whole operating system around them.Executive AI impactExecutive archetypesOperating principles that actually travelResearch analyst methodsAdvisor boards and communication systemsOperational automation and the personal CRMThe AI chief of staffThis podcast was created with Podkey.

Transcribe →Agents, Scarcity, and the Human Loop
2w ago00:08:26Tap to summarizeOne of the strangest AI shifts right now is that tools sold as labor-saving can also erase the moment when you're done. And once that happens, the hard question isn't whether agents are useful. It's who absorbs the extra coordination, judgment, and cost.The infinite backlogWhen expertise gets cheapThe human sandwichFrom personal agents to team agentsToken scarcity and the cost of autonomyPersistent workspaces and real-time collaborationEnterprise reality checkWhat markets seem to rewardThis podcast was created with Podkey.

Transcribe →Compute, Chips, and Pricing
2w ago00:12:15Tap to summarizeA lot of this week’s AI news looks disconnected at first glance: chip architecture, giant compute contracts, token billing, regulation. It’s really the same argument from different angles. Who gets compute, who pays for it, how efficiently they use it, and who gets to slow things down before release. That’s the whole board.Why chip design still decides everythingCompute scarcity and the Anthropic-SpaceX shockOpenAI, token pricing, and enterprise realityGoogle’s scale strategy and the regulation fightBreakthroughs, labor, and the messier public narrativeThis podcast was created with Podkey.
