Episodes

  1. S1E08. When the Gap Closes

    This episode is narrated using AI voice technology. The content and script are original. The machines really are getting better at long jobs, but a better model will not rebuild a company still laid out for the old machinery.

  2. S1E07. The Postmortems That Don't Exist

    This episode is narrated using AI voice technology. The content and script are original. When ordinary software blows up, someone publishes how. For a bot a company actually hired and let loose, that write-up still is not there.

  3. S1E06. Ninety-Five Percent of What?

    This episode is narrated using AI voice technology. The content and script are original. Ninety-five percent of projects fail usually means nobody measured, not that they measured and it failed.

  4. S1E05. The Press Release and the Filing

    This episode is narrated using AI voice technology. The content and script are original. Klarna's work of seven hundred people was how many chats went through, not seven hundred jobs. When both exist, read the filing.

  5. S1E04. Eighteen, Forty-One, Seventy-Eight

    This episode is narrated using AI voice technology. The content and script are original. Eighteen, forty-one, and seventy-eight percent are all true. They are counting different things, so always ask percent of what.

  6. S1E03. Nine Times Out of Ten

    This episode is narrated using AI voice technology. The content and script are original. Right nine times out of ten once is not right all month, because a refund is a chain and each step eats the odds.

  7. S1E02. The Ruler and the Thing

    This episode is narrated using AI voice technology. The content and script are original. When headlines say it can work a whole day, they mean a coin flip on a coding test, not a day of unsupervised work. Need it usually right and that job shrinks to about an hour and a half.

  8. S1E01. What Is It Actually Doing?

    This episode is narrated using AI voice technology. The content and script are original. Asking it to write the message is not the same job as asking it to send the toaster back, and you find out too late.
