Kevin Roose is AGI-pilled. Why aren’t you?

Quick take

Kevin Roose, former New York Times reporter and current co-host of the new podcast Machine Gods, is deeply engaged in the concept of artificial general intelligence (AGI). His book, The AGI Chronicles, dives into the rapid and dramatic changes transforming the AI industry, especially how AGI is seen not just as a future possibility but an immediate pressure point.

Why it matters

Roose’s move from the Times to an independent platform signals a shift in how AI topics are covered and discussed. It underscores growing demand for frank, insider perspectives that unpack the real-time rise of AGI and its pandemic-like impact on tech culture and business strategies. For operators and investors, this means AI is not theory anymore; it is reshaping power dynamics, innovation races, and regulatory attention now. If you’re not “AGI-pilled” yet, you’re likely underestimating how fast and deeply AI is altering the competitive landscape.
