AI Summary
5 min readFor 234 episodes over 16 months, the hosts of the Limitless podcast have tracked AI from the days when a sprite running through a 3D world was a viral demo to the present, where a single prompt can generate a full AAA game and personal AI agents hold Zoom calls with Scottish accents so convincing you cannot tell they are not human. But the podcast itself has just undergone a transformation as significant as any model release it covers. Co-host Josh has accepted a full-time content role at Anthropic, one of the frontier labs the show has discussed since its earliest episodes, and will now appear only sparingly. Co-host Ejaz will continue to shepherd the show under a new partnership with Yahoo Finance, with producer Luke still behind the scenes. The episode is both an explanation of that transition and a reflection on how radically the AI landscape has shifted since they began.
