Generative AI 101

Host Emily Laird scrubs in for a sharp, no-fluff look at Claude for Healthcare, Anthropic’s AI model trying very hard not to kill anyone. From constitutional AI that teaches it when to shut up, to the unsung hellscape of medical paperwork, Emily explores how Claude is earning its white coat, not with brilliance, but with restraint. It flags issues, files forms, and translates doctor-speak into human-speak, all while navigating hospitals built on fax machines and fear. No hype, no heroics—just whether this machine can behave well enough to be trusted where it counts.

Host Emily Laird digs into Claude Code, the AI agent that doesn’t just finish your sentence, it rewrites your repo and files the ticket. This isn’t Clippy with a GitHub account, it’s a caffeine-free engineer that debugs before you even notice the bug. From Opus 4.5’s patient power to Claude Cowork handling Excel like a boss, Emily unpacks why devs in 2026 are handing over the keyboard but keeping one eye open.

Host Emily Laird cracks open ChatGPT Health like a lab sample and pokes at what’s really inside. Forget the press releases. This episode is all about the weird, wonderful, and slightly terrifying idea of using generative AI as a health sidekick. From decoding lab results to whispering sweet nonsense during your 3 AM health spiral, ChatGPT might just be the smartest hypochondriac you’ve ever met. But can it stay helpful without turning harmful? Emily digs into the data links, the privacy gaps, and why the FDA is side-eyeing every answer it gives.

Host Emily Laird lifts the hood on the unsung hero of high-speed AI: Jonathan Ross, the chip whisperer behind Google’s TPU and Groq’s blazing-fast LPU. No TED Talks, no ego—just raw silicon, military-grade precision, and zero patience for lag. From paper citations to billion-dollar deals with Nvidia, this episode tracks how one quiet engineer redefined inference and made “fast” the new frontier. Come for the acronyms, stay for the hardware drama.

09/29/2025: Nvidia & Groq Will Build Their Own Chips

Host Emily Laird unpacks the Groq saga, the startup that built lightning-fast AI chips, dared to challenge Nvidia, then got scooped into its gravity. We’re talking chip wars, billion-dollar brain drains, and the not-so-sexy truth about what makes AI feel instant (spoiler: it’s infrastructure). From OpenBench to Saudi deals, from wild ambition to quiet acquisition, this is the Silicon Valley story where speed met control... and got licensed for $20 billion.
