Show Notes
This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis unpack a surprising policy reversal from the White House, which is now weighing a plan to vet frontier AI models before release after revoking Biden's safety order on day one. They also dig into the Musk versus OpenAI trial testimony, where $80 billion Mars requests and near-physical confrontations made it feel more like a soap opera than a courtroom.Also in this episode: OpenAI traced a goblin obsession back to a rogue reward signal, Yann LeCun told students to ignore AI doom narratives, Gary Marcus called out Richard Dawkins for declaring Claude is conscious, a researcher invented a fake disease that every AI treated as real, and in the speed round, Nvidia's China market share hit zero, Anthropic launched a $1.5 billion enterprise joint venture, Google split its TPU into two chips, and China made it illegal to fire workers over AI. New episodes every Wednesday at aiinside.show.

This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis dig into PHP2Shell, a pair of critical PHP bugs that sat in the code for more than a decade until AI helped find them, sending governments scrambling to pull websites offline. Then they look at people using Claude to make their smart TVs dumb again, synth fans vibe-coding new firmware onto old gear, and a researcher who says AI’s black box was never as tangled as we thought. Also in this episode: Meta’s Muse Spark Open, Nvidia’s DSX POD and OpenShell, DHS ordering DeepSeek out of federal systems, a Muse privacy leak, Disney’s Character.AI bankruptcy play, and Reflection’s Beam.

This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis ask whether we're witnessing the end of software, as developer Brandon Thomas uses Claude to build free, open-source clones of Microsoft Office and Adobe's Creative Suite while AI-decompiled versions of Halo, GTA, and Call of Duty run right in a browser tab. They also dig into OpenAI's release of 722 AI-written math papers and the backlash from mathematicians. Also in this episode: Jason shares his early access experience with Gemini 4 Argon, Meta launches its closed Muse Wonder models, the FBI arrests an OpenAI engineer accused of planting a hidden recording device, Anthropic warns about AI self-replicating on smart TVs, and Google Play opens up to personal vibe-coded apps.

This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis dig into two big Western open-weight models that landed within 24 hours of each other. Mistral’s trillion-parameter Large 4 was trained entirely in Mistral’s own European data centers, and Reflection AI’s Apache-licensed Beam comes from a team of DeepMind veterans, with both aiming at the Chinese labs that have dominated open AI.
This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis tackle AI agents from every angle. Nvidia released an open source safety platform just as OpenAI launched Dots, always-on agents with their own cloud computers and app integrations. Meta unveiled the Muse Charm, a palm-sized AI device. Anthropic's IPO prospectus revealed $518 billion in infrastructure commitments and extensive risk warnings. AMD announced an $8.2 billion acquisition of World Labs.
Thanks to Qualcomm for sponsoring Jason's travel to Maui for the Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit.
