Episode 1: What Is AI, Really?

from The AI Relay · host Jonathan Spanos

If you've been nodding along when people talk about AI but still feel like you're missing the full picture — this is where to start.Jonathan and Andrew trace the full arc of AI from its origins to the moment it became impossible to ignore — the shift from machine learning to generative AI that gave everyone a ChatGPT or Claude account and suddenly made the technology feel personal. They demystify the language: what an LLM actually is, what model weights are (spoiler: not as scary as they sound), and why "natural language as the operating system" is the most important thing to understand about where AI is right now.No background in tech required. That's kind of the whole point.New episodes every week — full video on YouTube. Hosted by Jonathan Spanos and Andrew Signore.
