The AI Edition
The AI Edition is your twice-weekly rundown of the 10 biggest stories in artificial intelligence, ranked and delivered. Hosted by Parker Gate, the show counts down from #10 to #1, saving the biggest AI story for last.
Built for founders, product managers, marketers, operators, investors, and curious professionals who use AI tools every day and need to stay current without drinking from the firehose. No machine-learning PhD required - if you use AI at work and want to sound informed in any meeting, this is your show.
Every episode is compiled from leading AI news sources, then ranked by real-world impact. New model releases from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta. Major product launches and price changes. Billion-dollar funding rounds, acquisitions, and strategic shifts. AI regulation, safety, jobs, and the society-level stories that actually matter. Plus, the occasional "AI did what?" moment that's just fun to tell.
We cut through the hype by making the status clear - shipped product, research demo, or speculation - and we attribute our sources. No hot takes, no doom, no cheerleading. Just what happened and why it matters, delivered with energy and wit.
New episodes twice a week. Stay informed. Stay sharp.
