Nothing has shipped yet — the site is up before the show, which is the correct order of operations. The docket below is what's planned and in fabrication. Join the site bulletin to hear the moment Episode 000 lands.
On the docket
Is Any of This Load-Bearing?
A structural survey of the AI stack, from the models everyone argues about to the boring infrastructure nobody tweets about. We inspect what would actually break if you removed it.
The Hype Inspection
This week in AI current events: what the headlines said, what the papers said, and the gap between the two. Bring a hard hat.
Anatomy of an episode
Three segments, same order every week. You always know where you are in the building.
-
The Walkthrough
The week in AI at a brisk pace: what shipped, what broke, what got funded, what got walked back. Every story tagged on the spot — matters, decorative, or too early to tell.
-
The Inspection
One story taken down to the studs. What the paper actually claims, what the demo actually shows, and what would have to be true for the headline to hold weight.
-
The Punch List
Rapid closeout: predictions with error bars, follow-ups on last week’s calls (including the wrong ones), and one thing each host changed their mind about.
