  • The Entire Spectrum

    I can’t recommend this podcast enough for people interested in learning how to use AI and the effects this technology is having on the US economy and our daily lives. That’s where NLW deserves the most credit - episodes are more than just useful, insightful, and current - they cover a broad range of high level topics and detailed AI/agentic how-to guides. Therefore this is the only podcast you need to become an expert on using AI and also see the big picture of its impact.

  • Data center locations

    Can data centers be placed far away from neighborhoods and populated areas?

    Data centers could be placed in locations where they won’t compete with communities for water and electricity.

    They should be far from cities so they don’t create noise or air pollution near neighborhoods.

    Why can’t these data centers be placed out in the middle of nowhere?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A System for Testing New AI Models
Q: How frequently do you imagine updating these criteria and what might change over time?
Updates depend on how quickly the frontier moves and how much speed and quality matter to your use cases; people with high ADD tendencies may want monthly updates, while others may update less often based on bandwidth and need.
How to Build Team Agents
Q: How should teams balance investing in building team-level solutions now versus waiting for core tools like Grokbot or Copilot to provide native capabilities?
The heavy lifting is in configuration and knowledge curation, and teams should pick the tool adjacent to their ecosystem to establish shared ground truth now, so they're ready when better tools arrive.
How to Build Team Agents
Q: Do you see, are any of the four archetypes more common starting places for teams you've observed?
In practice, expert agents that codify internal knowledge and help reduce bottlenecks are often the first to be widely adopted, while more complex team-intermediary models are harder to implement.
How AI Starts Doing the Work in 2026 With Anthropic CPO Mike Krieger
Q: What do you think will be the biggest blockers for enterprises and how do you think they're going to get through them?
He identifies the gap between idealized AI functioning and the realities of legacy systems and regulatory constraints as significant blockers, suggesting that enterprises will need to componentize AI solutions to overcome these issues effectively.
How AI Starts Doing the Work in 2026 With Anthropic CPO Mike Krieger
Q: As you look into 2026, where do you see enterprises starting this year?
Krieger predicts enterprises will increasingly focus on deploying horizontal agents, enhancing their ability to handle complex operations with AI, moving beyond simple AI implementations to more integrated solutions.
