  • Updated Twice Weekly

The AI revolution is moving faster than anyone can follow. I'm Dan — each week Dan's AI Intel takes the one development that actually matters and digs past the hype and the fear to what's really going on, and what it means: for the economy, for politics, and for the race between the labs — not just the tech. A deeply-researched, two-host show for curious people who want to understand where this is all heading, not just react to the day's news. The full written reports — with interactive charts, sources and exhibits — and all of Dan's shows are at connectiveshift.com.
