Early agent behavior and laughter

Evan Ratliff, journalist and podcaster, joined Bryan and Adam to talk about his extraordinary podcast, Shell Game, in which he started a company staffed exclusively by agentic AI.

In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, our special guest was Evan Ratliff.

Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:

• Shell Game
• Evan on This American Life
• MIT Review: Moltbook was peak AI theater
• "Vancouver! Vancouver! This is it!"
• The Startup Chronicles - HurumoAI
• PRs needed!

If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR! Our next show will likely be on Monday at 5p Pacific Time on our Discord server; stay tuned to our Mastodon feeds for details, or subscribe to this calendar. We'd love to have you join us, as we always love to hear from new speakers!
