The Daily Neural
Your fast daily breakdown of everything artificial intelligence. Every morning, Alex (the optimist) and Sam (the skeptic) debate the three biggest AI stories: the major model and tool releases, the industry power moves, and the wildcards nobody saw coming. From enterprise AI and coding agents to breakthrough science, they dig into what happened, why it matters, and whether you should actually care — no hype, no jargon, just sharp daily debate. Perfect for your commute, workout, or morning coffee. New episodes drop every morning. Watch the video version on YouTube at The Daily Neural.
