The Thanksgiving Day Show

Brian hosted this Thanksgiving episode with Beth and Andy, kicking off with light holiday banter, the show’s 600 plus episode streak, and the now legendary “Turkey Day burrito” origin story. The group moved quickly into news highlights, touching on Nvidia’s rare defensive stance with Wall Street, Anthropic’s agent improvements, new productivity research, the MIT Iceberg Index on hidden automation risks, economic signals from venture capital, and the shifting entry level job landscape. The second half focused on creativity tools, the state of AI music, and a live demo of two Suno generated songs that showed how far generative audio has advanced.
