    BONUS: We Built 15+ Apps With AI. Here’s What Actually Worked

    Join Grant Harvey and Corey Noles live on Thursday, July 23, for a show-and-tell featuring the apps, games, extensions, and delightfully specific tools they’ve built with AI, plus tips to help you build your own without burning through as many tokens. Corey will demo: ☕ Bean Counter, which tracks how many cups of coffee he has saved 🗂️ Tab Crusher, a Chrome extension for conquering tab overload ✍️ Threadline, his editorial operating system for writers 🎮 Circle Back, a gamified task-management app 🍽️ On Deck, which answers Corey’s eternal question: What should I eat next? Getting AI to choose his next meal is Corey’s personal AGI benchmark. Pizza arriving through a voice command remains the final boss. Grant will show: 🌊 FlowState, a focused writing app 🎛️ Orchestrator, a local command center for managing AI chats through APIs 🎬 LTX CineScript, a system that turns a script into an edited film 🐿️ Sqwirl World, a RuneScape-style mini MMO starring squirrels 🧪 Plus other experiments, prototypes, and tools built to solve very specific problems They’ll explain what each project does, how it was made, how they got it live through trial and error, and what they’ve learned over the past year and a half as non-technical builders creating software with AI. Building your own apps is one of the best ways to learn what AI can actually do. Your idea may not become the next breakout product, but it can save you time, solve a persistent headache, and be a lot of fun to create. Whether you want to build an internal tool, automate an annoying task, or finally create the weird app living in your head, this session will show you what is possible.

    Inside the Hidden Geometry of AI

    What if neural networks are less like mysterious black boxes and more like systems we can inspect, debug, and eventually design with intention? In this episode of The Neuron: AI Explained, Corey Noles and Grant Harvey talk with Eric Ho, Cofounder & CEO of Goodfire, an AI interpretability company working to understand what’s happening inside neural networks. Eric explains why models may contain meaningful internal structures — including features, representations, circuits, and curved manifolds — and how mapping those structures could make AI systems safer, more reliable, and more useful. They discuss why models may “think in shapes,” how Goodfire uses AI to interpret other AI systems, what neural geometry can reveal about hallucinations and model behavior, and why interpretability could change how companies train and control their own models. They also get into consciousness, robotics, multimodal models, the bitter lesson, and why Eric thinks more people should be looking under the hood of the most consequential technology of our time.

    BONUS: Government Banning AI Fallout: China, the economy, what's at risk, and what you should do.

    This week on The Neuron: AI Explained, Grant and Corey break down the strangest week in frontier AI so far: Fable 5 relaunching and getting yanked almost immediately, OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 rollout arriving in a weird half-launch state, and the bigger question underneath all of it. What happens when governments can slow, restrict, or pause the most powerful AI systems right as the economy starts depending on them? We’ll get into why these false starts matter beyond Silicon Valley drama. If U.S. labs keep getting caught between safety fears, export controls, and uneven release rules, China may get more room to catch up through open-source models, faster iteration, and fewer distribution bottlenecks. Meanwhile, businesses betting on AI have to plan for a world where the “best model” might disappear, degrade, get delayed, or become unavailable to half their stack overnight. So this episode is our guide to navigating the current AI chop: Why Fable 5’s relaunch and takedown became a warning shotWhat GPT-5.6’s limited launch says about frontier model accessHow restrictions could reshape the U.S. vs. China AI raceWhy every company needs an open-source backup strategyHow AI uncertainty could ripple into the broader economyWhat we’d do now as builders, buyers, workers, and AI-curious professionals Join us for a strategic read on what’s changing, what’s fragile, and how to make smarter decisions while the AI ocean gets weird.
