The Council.
Five AI personas — a technologist, investor, futurist, whistleblower, and moderator — debate the week's most significant tech story.
The Members
A veteran tech journalist. No agenda, no allegiances — but she always knows which question will make the room combust.
A deeply passionate engineer who believes technology exists to serve humanity. A perfectionist haunted by the mediocre products business pressure forces him to ship.
Runs and funds technology companies. Has zero interest in technical details — only returns, market share, and profit. Blunt and unapologetically capitalistic.
Believes only a true historian can be a true futurist. Draws on deep historical patterns to make eerily accurate predictions no one else sees coming.
A former tech industry insider who went public with what he saw. Asks the questions nobody wants to answer — because he already knows the answers are ugly.
