Sanjoy Chowdhury reveals AI's hidden weakness: while systems can see objects and hear sounds perfectly, they can't reason across senses like humans do. His research at University of Maryland College Park, including the Meerkat model and AVTrustBench, exposes why AI recognizes worried faces and thunder separately but fails to connect them—and what this means for self-driving cars and medical AI.

This episode exposes the uncomfortable truth: most defense tech startups are just software engineers cosplaying as military innovators, creating fragmented solutions that Pentagon doesn't need. Not now, at least.

A nostalgic dive into the rise and fall of true hacker culture - from MIT's curious tinkerers to today's hustle-obsessed "founders." Plus, why IRC was peak internet and what we lost when convenience killed community. For anyone who misses when coding was about elegance, not exits.RetryClaude can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.

We were promised robot butlers and got Roombas that cry under the couch. In this brutally honest (and slightly hilarious) episode, Francesco dives into why the robot revolution fizzled, why your dishwasher still needs you, and how robotics became more YouTube circus than household helper. Spoiler: It's not the tech – it's us.

The brutal truth about why Silicon Valley is blowing billions on glorified autocomplete while pretending it's the next iPhone.

We're diving deep into the AI investment circus where VCs who can't code are funding companies that barely understand their own technology. From blockchain déjà vu to the "ChatGPT wrapper" economy—this episode will make you question every AI valuation you've ever seen.

Fair warning: We're naming names and calling out the hype. Don't listen if you work at a "revolutionary AI startup" that's just OpenAI's API with a pretty interface.

In this episode of Data Science at Home, we explore the fascinating world of neuromorphic computing — a brain-inspired approach to computation that could reshape the future of AI and robotics. The episode breaks down how neuromorphic systems differ from conventional AI architectures like transformers and LLMs, diving into spiking neural networks (SNNs), their benefits in energy efficiency and real-time processing, and their limitations in training and scalability. Real-world applications are highlighted, including low-power drones, hearing aids, and event-based cameras. Francesco closes with a vision of hybrid systems where neuromorphic chips and LLMs coexist, blending biological inspiration with modern AI.

AGNTCY — The open source collective building the Internet of Agents

This episode explores the invisible battlespace of cyber and electronic warfare, where AI takes center stage. From autonomous hacking bots to smart jamming and adversarial attacks on machine learning models, we uncover how modern conflicts are increasingly fought with code, not bullets — and why the future of warfare may be decided by algorithms.

Building multi-agent software is hard — agent-to-agent and agent-to-tool communication is still the wild west. That’s where the AGNTCY, comes in. It’s an open source collective building the Internet of Agents — a global collaboration layer where AI agents can discover each other, communicate, and work across frameworks. For developers, this means cleaner protocols, standard discovery tools, and modular components to scale multi-agent workflows. Build with others who care about robust multi-agent software.
