Cloudflare's New Crawling Policy

This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis dig into a strange role reversal in AI, as Beijing weighs restricting overseas access to China's best models while DeepSeek races to build its own chip. They also get into OpenAI offering the US government a five percent stake to ease political pressure in Washington, and the first ransomware attack run entirely by an AI agent.
Also in this episode: Alibaba bans employees from Claude Code, more than 90 percent of Claude Cowork use turns out not to be coding, Meta puts your Instagram photos into AI, wealthy families trade school for AI tutoring, Nvidia's next rack slips to 2028, and xAI becomes SpaceXAI.
