About this episode

[Placeholder — Niles will record and replace.]

This is the inaugural episode. The point of the show is to have long-form, lightly-edited conversations with the people actually building frontier AI — the engineers in the lab, the researchers shipping papers, the policy people in the rooms, and the contrarians worth listening to.

Format

Roughly 60–90 minutes per episode. Guests in their own voice. Few cuts. We publish the transcript alongside the audio so the conversation is searchable and quotable.

Show notes

Show notes will appear here. Links to papers, projects, and references the guest brings up during the conversation.
