    There Is No AI. There's a Stateless Function on 10,000 GPUs Pretending to Know You (Ep. 299)

    03/03/2026 | 39 mins.
    Right now, millions of people are simultaneously chatting with a system that remembers nothing, knows nothing, and resets after every message. The engineering keeping that illusion alive is actually the impressive part.

    Your Favorite AI Startup is Probably Bullshit (Ep. 298) [RB]

    30/01/2026 | 12 mins.
    The brutal truth about why Silicon Valley is blowing billions on glorified autocomplete while pretending it's the next iPhone.

    We're diving deep into the AI investment circus where VCs who can't code are funding companies that barely understand their own technology. From blockchain déjà vu to the "ChatGPT wrapper" economy—this episode will make you question every AI valuation you've ever seen.

    Fair warning: We're naming names and calling out the hype. Don't listen if you work at a "revolutionary AI startup" that's just OpenAI's API with a pretty interface.

    Why AI Researchers Are Suddenly Obsessed With Whirlpools (Ep. 297) [RB]

    28/01/2026 | 33 mins.
    VortexNet uses actual whirlpools to build neural networks. Seriously.
    By borrowing equations from fluid dynamics, this new architecture might solve deep learning's toughest problems—from vanishing gradients to long-range dependencies.
    Today we explain how vortex shedding, the Strouhal number, and turbulent flows might change everything in AI.

    When Data Stops Being Code and Starts Being Conversation (Ep. 297)

    22/12/2025 | 33 mins.
    Mark Brocato built Mockaroo—the tool that taught millions of developers how to fake data. Now, as Head of Engineering at Tonic.ai, he's building the AI agent that's making his own creation obsolete. In this episode, we explore why static test data can't survive the AI era, what it means to "negotiate" datasets with an agent instead of scripting them, and whether we're heading toward a future where sandbox environments vanish entirely. From the hidden failures of legacy mocks to the security implications of agent-driven synthesis, Mark reveals what happens when data generation becomes a conversation—not a pipeline.
