Kicking off a new year of recordings with a new Ruby AI Podcast episode discussing:

- Ruby's 30-year evolution and the quiet release of Ruby 4 - AI agents vs collaborative workflows - Productivity gains vs AI-generated "slop" - Open source incentives in an AI-driven world - Not hype-heavy, more reflective and practical.

--- Before this episode, we asked a harder question: "Is AI actually real? Or just cosplay?" with Evan Phoenix https://www.therubyaipodcast.com/2388930/episodes/18457774-r...
