About Red Basilisk
From the publisher's feed
Red Basilisk isn't about AI. It's made with it.
Each episode is a Red Basilisk dispatch, read aloud: current events, politics, energy, faith, the land, the machines. Whatever is worth digging into. We pick a question, dig through the sources with AI, push back on the easy answers, and tell you where we landed. When the AI got something wrong, we say so.
Every episode links to the full written dispatch, with every source, at redbasilisk.com.
Some people want to slay the dragon. Some want to hide from it. We'd rather ride it.
