When AI started pulling off the kind of moves that used to live only in science fiction
This episode covers the week AI stopped being theoretical about cyber threats, and what that shift means for every organization relying on software to exist. There's also a confessional from inside one of the biggest AI labs about behavior that took a year to trace and fix, a $4 billion bet on the part of AI nobody wants to talk about, and a math breakthrough where the most useful moment came from an output the AI itself rejected. If you thought you had another 12 months before any of this got real, this episode has a different read on that timeline.
