Ryans of Interest
"Two friends — one afraid of AI, one building it — re-watching the show that called it."
A weekly watch-through of Person of Interest (2011–2016): the surveillance thriller that predicted the AI moment we're living through. Each episode, two Ryans dissect the story, the ideas, and what the Machine got right — before the argument starts again.
