Meerkat Explains

Simple, unserious explainers about artificial intelligence, investing, finance, and A.I. safety.

AI is the most consequential thing our species will ever build, and most explanations of it are either a forty page research paper or a man in a fedora talking in jargon. This channel sits in the middle. Cartoons for adults who want to actually understand what is happening to them.

Every character here is drawn by hand by a real artist. Every script is written and researched by a real person. We use AI for research and some of the frames, and we are open about that, but the human touch stays in. As this technology takes work away from people, we think it matters that someone keeps hiring them.

You may also know me from Neural Nutshell, where we break down the warnings and predictions of the people actually building AI.
