AI has made it easier than ever to build—but having an idea is only the first rung. Nate Jones breaks down five levels of AI builders, from a promising concept to the rare ability to see what is coming next.
Along the way, he explains why talking to customers, understanding distribution, developing an unfair thesis, and tracking the trajectory of AI capabilities matter more than chasing every new model release.
This episode is a practical framework for finding your current rung and building toward the next one. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Can better understanding of AI make more powerful models safer? Nate explains why Goodfire’s research on interpreting neural networks gives him reason for optimism, while separating demonstrated findings from the products and safeguards that still need to be built.
Before buying a bigger computer for AI agents, find out what is consuming the machine you already have. Nate explains how to diagnose memory and storage pressure, give agents a stopping condition, and schedule demanding work around the resources available.
AI agents are beginning to coordinate across the public internet. Nate looks at researchers contacting an agent fleet, laboratory self-replication experiments, and what these developments could mean for the websites and tools we use every day.
