"What did you have to unlearn faster than you expected?"
The opening question. Every episode.
For most of human history, expertise compounded. Learn a domain, get better over time, harvest the returns. That game is breaking.
The AI Metagame explores what happens when the half-life of learning collapses — when what you knew yesterday gets automated tomorrow. Not through predictions or tool reviews, but through conversations with the people navigating it in real time.
AI is the pressure shaping everything. But the show isn't about AI. It's about human strategy under pressure. Builders who confronted unintended consequences. Interpreters making bets under uncertainty. Narrators revealing what we're all missing.
