The Artificial Intelligence Show
Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput
Elon Musk's dealings with AI companies dissected episode by episode, alongside industry trends and layoffs.
Why we picked this
We picked The Artificial Intelligence Show for its rare refusal to traffic in tech-industry optimism. Instead of hyping the latest model release, the hosts break down the corporate strategy, the labor economics, and the environmental footprint of generative AI with sharp, skeptical analysis. The show cuts through the press releases to examine how artificial intelligence actually changes business models and workforce numbers. It is a pragmatic, clear-eyed feed for anyone trying to understand the technology beyond the marketing.
