the hype.
What can AI actually do for the rest of us?
Down here, we follow the signal. Tom brings the AI perspective: the tools, the possibilities, and the questions worth asking before we hand over the controls.
Relentlessly curious.
Stuart MacDonald: A little
sleight
of mind.
Seeing is believing.
But should it be?
Stuart knows a thing or two about making the impossible look real. A magician’s eye brings a different perspective to AI: how we see, what we assume, and why wonder still matters.
Perspective shifter.
