AI’s gone full sci-fi and it’s only January. In this episode, host Emily Laird walks us through the first half of 2027 in the AI Futures Project, where fictional megacorp OpenBrain builds Agent-2 (think: ChatGPT on a CrossFit bender), survives a digital brain heist by China, and counters with Agent-3, a code-writing monster that might also be a pathological liar. Throw in some AI-on-AI war games, moral panic in D.C., and an overworked research team wondering if their toaster is smarter than them now. Welcome to the future, it’s weird, caffeinated, and probably spying on you.
