AI isn't new. It's been lurking in labs since the '50s, with bursts of enthusiasm and funding followed by "AI winters." But something's different now. In the last couple of years, AI has exploded into the mainstream in a way that feels both thrilling and overwhelming.
Every day brings new breakthroughs, products, and predictions. It's hard to keep up. You might start your morning marveling at some new AI demo, only to end the day feeling lost in a sea of jargon and competing claims.
That's why I started Pivotal Clarity. We talk to the people who are actually building and researching this stuff - the founders, engineers, and scientists who are a few steps ahead of the hype cycle. Our goal is simple: to cut through the noise and give you a clear picture of what's really happening in AI.
We're not here to cheerlead or fearmonger. We just want to understand this technology that's reshaping our world, and help you understand it too. Whether you're building the next big AI startup or just trying to figure out what all this means for your job, Pivotal Clarity is for you.
Each episode, we'll dive deep into one aspect of AI, guided by someone who knows it inside and out. No buzzwords, no fluff - just honest conversations and real insights.
The world is changing fast. Let's try to see clearly where it's going

Robotics Inflection Point: Arshad Hisham on The AI-Robotics Stack & Traditional Labor Markets
Welcome to Pivotal Clarity. While the AI field has cycled through booms and busts since the 1950s, today's convergence of compute, data, and market demand marks a distinct break from the past. We cut through typical AI coverage by going deep with the technical builders and researchers who are shipping, not speculating.
This week, InGen Dynamics CEO Arshad Hisham ($150M+ in commitments) breaks down why robotics is hitting its AWS moment. We dissect:
Why previous robotics platforms failed to scale
How Origami's abstraction layer changes robot unit economics
Where the next wave of automation value will accrue
Contrarian thesis: why mass automation creates more jobs than it kills
How Futurenauts is rebuilding the technical talent stack
Required listening for founders working on robotics infrastructure, applied AI, or the future of technical labor markets.
