O tym podcaście
Ghosts in the Machine is a daily briefing on artificial intelligence as it moves from the lab into the world. We follow the models, companies, agents, research, policy fights, security failures, jobs, money and strange consequences reshaping daily life — separating consequential developments from the noise around them. Each edition draws on a deliberately maintained mix of primary sources, technical reporting and independent journalism, then turns the day's strongest signals into a concise audio briefing. AI news without the engagement trap. Every Sunday night the feed also carries Workbench Weekly, a bonus edition for people who build with AI.
