A few things to
get into.
The first conversations we're planning.
Episodes are on the way.
What Bryan got wrong about the internet. What Austin got wrong about war.
Two generations. Two sets of assumptions. A good place to start is where we were wrong.
Defense software has a contracting problem.
The demo works. The deal takes years. What happens when the way we buy technology can't keep up with the technology itself?
When nobody's in the loop, who answers for it?
A machine makes the call. A person lives with it. Where autonomy ends, accountability begins—and that's where this argument starts.
Is AI really going to replace the analyst?
Summarizing a report is one thing. Knowing what matters is another. We argue over which parts of the job are actually up for grabs.

The machines, and their limits
AI engineer
Austin Eovito
