new from kaleidoscope: shell game (season 2)

About this episode

<p>This week, we&rsquo;re sharing an episode from another podcast we&rsquo;re excited about.</p> <p>In Season 2 of Shell Game, journalist Evan Ratliff tells a story of entrepreneurship in the AI age; or, how he tried to build a real company, run by fake people.&nbsp;</p> <p>In episode one, we meet Kyle Law and Megan Flores, Evan&rsquo;s AI agent cofounders, as he puts to the test the claims about an emerging future in which AI employees work alongside &mdash; or instead of &mdash; humans.</p> <p>Over the course of the season, the three cofounders will grind it out in a sprint that would sound familiar to any start-up founder. They&rsquo;ll churn out software code, hire interns, and even sit down with investors. But first, they need to come up with a name for their company. And make sure that Kyle and Megan can remember it.</p> <p>Subscribe to Shell Game wherever you get your podcasts.
