No Priors
Conviction
Venture investors interrogate founders and lab researchers about the technical constraints and market realities behind artificial intelligence.
Why we picked this
We picked No Priors because it bypasses tech industry press releases to examine how frontier technology actually gets built. The hosts interview founders and researchers working on artificial intelligence, infrastructure, and complex systems, pushing past market hype into the mechanics of engineering and scaling. Conversations focus on the messy realities of early-stage development rather than polished narratives. Subscribers get a clear, unfiltered window into the technical and operational choices shaping emerging markets.
