Kevin Roose's "council of Claudes" caught book errors human editors missed
every · x · 2026-11-15
Tech journalist Kevin Roose describes on The Every Podcast how he built a "council of Claudes"—an AI skeptic, an AI historian, and a storytelling reviewer—to critique chapters of his new book The AGI Chronicles, with a master editor agent merging their feedback. The council caught factual errors both Roose and his human editors missed. The book draws on 150 interviews inside AI labs, including behind-the-scenes details of Sam Altman's firing. The interview also promotes Every's Thesis: 2027 conference in Brooklyn.
